Solid State Amplifiers for Linear Accelerators at Triumf
نویسندگان
چکیده
Solid state amplifiers are being used for linear accelerators at TRIUMF which are either being upgraded or under development. The Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) facility at ISAC II which is being upgraded with additional 20 quarter wave superconducting bulk niobium cavities will employ twenty 141 MHz solid state amplifiers. A 650 MHz solid state amplifier for electron gun development and an 1.3 GHz solid state amplifier for characterization of an elliptical superconducting niobium cavity are being used for the 50 MeV electron linac being planned at TRIUMF.

250 Abstract—Trellis coding combined with expanded signal sets has been considered in this paper to improve error performance over uncoded modulation. New communications services have created the demand for highly linear high power amplifiers (HPA's). Traveling Wave Tubes Amplifiers (TWTA) continue to offer the best microwave HPA performance in terms of power efficiency, size and cost, but lag...
