Description
In generation and distribution of high power RF for charged particle accelerators,
a fan-out configuration to power many cavities using a high powered klystron is
considered advantageous in saving construction and installation cost. High power
fast RF phase shifters can be used to construct a vector modulator for independent
control of RF amplitude and phase delivered to an accelerating cavity. A prototype
vector modulator that employs two quasi-TEM mode coaxial ferrite phase shifters has
been built and bench tested. The properties of the vector modulation system and
characteristics of the phase shifters derived by simulations and measurements will
be presented.
