The Institute for Nuclear Physics (KPH) of Mainz University is operating the CW mictrotron cascade MAMI (Mainzer Mikrotron) for more than 30 years. Since 2012 KPH is also planning a CW multi-turn energy recovery linac MESA (Mainz Energy-recovering Superconducting Accelerator).
In this contribution we will sum up our experience with the klystron based RF-system of MAMI (2.45 GHz and 4.9 GHz)...
A high power amplifier at 80.5 MHz was developed for a linear accelerator system. This amplifier has to hold 100% reflection at all phases and therefore a circulator has to be integrated to protect the transistor of the amplifier pallet from overvoltage breakdown.
At this low frequency isolation and reflections are changing with RF power and temperature. To hold the necessary input return...
