Design of a Pfn for the Nlc Klystron Pulse Modulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
A pulse-forming network(PFN) with mutual coupling has been designed and built for the klystron pulse modulator of the SLAC Next Linear Collider(NLC). The PFN consists of a single-layer air-core coil with mutual coupling between sections and equal valued capacitors. The optimization of the coupling coefficient and the design of the air-core coil such as its radius, the number of turns and its total length are discussed. The results of the high and low voltage tests are also presented. Presented at the First Asian Particle Accelerator Conference(APAC98) KEK, Tsukuba, Japan March 23 27, 1998 * Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE–AC03–76SF00515.

NLC Reliability Analysis Notes : Klystron - Modulator System By :
This paper address the reliability and availability issues to be faced in deploying and operating the klystronmodulator assemblies proposed for the Next Linear Collider (NLC). The rf power sources are a major system of the NLC and require a high uptime in order to reach the goal of 0.85 availability. Since the NLC is made up of several systems, not just klystron-modulator assemblies, the availa...

As design studies and various R&D efforts continue on Next Linear Collider (NLC) systems, much R&D work is being done on X-Band klystron development, and development of pulse modulators to drive these X-Band klystrons. A workshop on this subject was held at SLAC in June of 1998, and a follow-up workshop is scheduled at SLAC June 23-25, 1999. At the 1998 workshop, several avenues of R&D were pro...
متن کاملAnalyses of Klystron Modulator Approaches for Nlc
Major changes to the Next Linear Collider (NLC) design were facilitated by the experimental testing of the 75 MW X-band klystron at a 3.0 μsec pulse width 1 and new component development allowing the delay line distribution system (DLDS) to operate with eight bins instead of four. This change has a direct effect on the design of the klystron modulator. The general approaches, which are being st...
متن کاملDevelopment of the Pulse Transformer for Nlc Klystron Pulse Modulator
We have studied a conventional pulse transformer for the NLC klystron pulse modulator. The transformer has been analyzed using a simplified lumped circuit model. It is found that a fast rise time requires low leakage inductance and low distributed capacitance and can be realized by reducing the number of secondary turns, but it produces larger pulse droop and core size. After making a tradeoff ...
