Description
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 combined to power one accelerating cavity. The presentation will show the design of a 75 kW CW solid state amplifier at 352.2 MHz using such a cavity combiner.
