    The 400MHz/300kW LHC klystrons are powered by 58kV DC supply. The klystron cathode current is controlled by a means of "modulation anode (MA)". Variation of the MA potential between 5kV and 35kV provide klystron current regulation from zero up to the nominal 9A. A high voltage tetrode (Thomson TH5186) used in the klystron modulator allows to control the MA voltage. Many of the currently used...

    Cavity combiners have been used before: at ALBA, for instance, 2 IOTs add their output power in such a device to drive one storage ring accelerating cavity. Their main advantages lie in the minor footprint when compared to hybrid couplers and their capability to accept a large number of feeders. This makes them ideally suited for high power transistor amplifiers, where many pallets have to be...

    The LHC accelerating RF system merely consists of a 300 kW klystron, a 3-port circulator, a superconducting cavity and an RF load. The resonance of the superconducting structure is strongly influenced by the external RF system. The loaded Q, i.e. the external quality factor of the cavity, therefore also depends on the reflection of the circulator. The circulators are equipped with a...
