Nonlinear effects in ferrite tuned cavities

Abstract

The phenomenon of dependence of the resonance shape and frequency on the RF power level in perpendicular biased ferrite-tuned cavities has been observed by G. Hulsey and C. Friednchs in the the SSC test cavity expenment. Thisapaper rsents a theoretical as well as numerical an ysls o thrs phenomenon and compares the results with experimental data. The effect of this nonlinearity on the SSC low energy booster prototype cavity is discussed.
