Solid state amplifiers I
- Jorn Jacob (ESRF)
RF Solid-state technology has emerged in accelerator application in recently years due to the fast development of semiconductor as well as the communication industry and the reduction of vacuum tube market. To generate RF power in scientific application is an useful and interesting topic, some efforts have been made to build solid-state amplifier technology from circuit components, thermal...
High power solid-state amplifiers at 162.5 MHz and 325MHz were developed for a 25MeV superconducting proton linear accelerator system, consists of two 80kW 162.5 MHz amplifiers for RFQ, two 162.5 MHz 12kW amplifiers for buncher cavities, twelve 12kW 162.5 MHz amplifiers, five 20kW 162.5 MHz amplifiers and six 25kW 325MHz amplifiers for SC cavities.
In this talk, commissioning and operating...
Recent developments in the design and performance of a prototype 352-MHz/12kW solid state rf system utilizing a combining cavity will be discussed. Re-tuning 352-MHz/1MW cw klystrons for re-purpose will be discussed.
In 2014, Ampegon presented a novel 500MHz, 65kW CW Solid State RF Amplifier, developed in cooperation with Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland [1]. Since then, Ampegon has developed this system into a second generation, focussing particularly on standardization, simplicity, scalability, efficiency, robustness, and maintainability. This resulted in an economical system optimized both...
