Conveners
Klystrons, tetrodes, IOTs

Design features and test results of a multibeam inductive output tube (MB-IOT) that produces over 1.2 MW peak power at 704 MHz with over 65% efficiency will be presented. This is a collaborative effort between Thales Electron Devices and Communications & Power Industries to design and fabricate a new RF source for the European Spallation Source (ESS). The first prototype has been designed and...
A critical component of most accelerators is the source of high power RF. Klystrons have often the go-to choice, especially for high power and high frequency. CEBAF has accumulated over 25 years of operation using 420 installed klystrons to meet the goals and provide RF for its physics program. Numerous devices have failed and can be expected to continue doing so, and likely with ever...
In SSRF, there are one 180kW klystron, three 300kW klystrons and their high power supplies and waveguide systems in SSRF. From 2009, when the SSRF has been open for user, all the transmitters work well inspite of some problems. This presentation will show the operation status of all the high power sources. Also all the problems and process methods will be shown.
