Test of a Bouncer Modulator with Pulse Cable at Flash

چکیده
The superconducting XFEL machine will be built in a single tunnel. The RF stations provide RF power of up to 10 MW at 1.3 GHz. The modulators will produce high-voltage pulses of up to 120 kV, 140 A with a pulse length of 1.54 ms. These will be installed in a service hall at ground level. The klystrons will be positioned near the cavities inside of the tunnel. The energy will be transported via pulse cables of up to 1.5 km length between the pulse generating units of the modulators located in the halls and the pulse transformers in the tunnel. Since the transformers have a transformer ratio of 1:12, pulses of 10kV and 1.6kA must be transmitted. Tests with pulse cables have been made with an existing modulator and klystron of the FLASH-Linac. The results showed that the internal construction of the modulator had to be changed to improve EMI behaviour. In order to prove that the beam in the accelerator is not disturbed by the operation of the cables a set of pulse cables was installed inside the tunnel of the FLASH-Linac in parallel to the beam line. An existing pulse transformer/ klystron unit was supplied via these 1.5km long cables by a new prototype of a modulator taking into account EMI considerations. The FLASH-Linac has been operated for a longer period of time with this set up proving reliable and stable operation.

Preliminary Design of Spacecraft Attitude Control with Pulse-Width Pulse-Frequency Modulator for Rest-to-Rest Maneuvers
In this paper, the preferred region of design parameters for quasi-normalized equations of single-axis attitude control of rigid spacecraft using pulse-width pulse-frequency modulator (PWPFM) is presented for rest-to-rest maneuvers. Using the quasi-normalized equations for attitude control reduces the system parameters, that is, the moment of inertia, the filter gain, and the maximum torque of ...

An all solid-state kicker modulator for the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test facility (DARHT-2) has been designed and tested. This kicker modulator uses multiple solid-state modules stacked in an inductive-adder configuration where the energy is switched into each section of the adder by a parallel array of MOSFETs. The modulator features very fast rise and fall times, pulse width agili...

In this paper a two-phase supply modulator suitable for envelope tracking power amplifier is presented. The designed supply modulator has the linear assisted switching architecture. Two-phase architecture is used in order to reduce the output switching ripples. The proposed architecture uses hysteretic control instead of pulse width modulation (PWM) which significantly reduces the circuit compl...
