A compact 10 kW solid-state RF power amplifier at 352 MHz

چکیده
A compact 10 kW RF power amplifier at 352 MHz was developed at FREIA for the European Spallation Source, ESS. The specifications of ESS for the conception of amplifiers are related to its pulsed operation: 3.5 ms pulse length and a duty cycle of 5%. The realized amplifier is composed of eight kilowatt level modules, combined using a planar Gysel 8-way combiner. The combiner has a low insertion loss of only 0.2 dB, measured at 10 kW peak power. Each module is built around a commercially available LDMOS transistor in a singleended architecture. During the final tests, a total output peak power of 10.5 kW was measured.

High-power, Low-loss, Radial Rf Power Dividers/combiners
Development of a 20 kW Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA), at 352 MHz, is in progress at RRCAT. This design uses radial dividing and combining architecture. As a part of this system, two high power (4 kW) combiners have been designed and developed. First one is 8 way with output ports in opposite but parallel direction to input port. Second one is 16 way with radial output ports. This paper des...
متن کاملGeneration of 130 W narrow- linewidth high-peak-power picosecond pulses directly from a compact Yb- doped single-stage fiber amplifier
We report a compact, 130-W single-stage master oscillator power amplifier with a high peak power of 51.3 kW and a narrow spectral linewidth of 0.1 nm. The seed source is a single-mode, passively mode-locked solid-state laser at 1064 nm with an average power of 2 W. At a repetition rate of 73.5 MHz, the pulse duration is 30 ps. After amplification, it stretches to 34.5 ps. The experiment enables...
متن کاملWideband Rf System for the Fermilab Recycler Ring
A broadband RF system has been built for the new Fermilab Recycler Ring. It is designed to both bunch and capture beam during transfers and create multiple, moveable RF barrier buckets for azimuthal control of the stored antiproton beam. Beam will be bunched and captured using bursts of four RF cycles at 2.5 MHz. To maximize bucket area, the multiple barrier buckets will be generated by pairs o...
متن کاملDevelopment and Testing of a High-Average Power, 94-GHz Gyroklystron
The development of a 10-kW average power, 94-GHz gyroklystron amplifier is described. This average power was obtained with 11% radio frequency (RF) duty factor and 92-kW peak power in the TE01 circular cavity mode. The instantaneous bandwidth was 420 MHz, and the efficiency was 33.5%. Low-duty-factor testing also yielded a peak power of as much as 115 kW with 600-MHz instantaneous bandwidth. Th...

The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory is ramping up the accelerated proton beam power to 1.4 MW after achieving 1.1 MW. The RFdriven multicusp ion source employing internal RF antenna originally developed by LBNL has been used to deliver up to ~38 mA H beam current in 1 msec pulses at 60 Hz with limited availability. To improve availability, an RF-driven external ...
