“…A high power third-harmonic magnicon at 34.272 GHz has been designed and built as a microwave source to develop RF technology for a future multi-TeV electron-positron linear collider. After preliminary RF conditioning, this tube produces an output power of over 30 MW in 0.5 μs pulses, with a gain of 54 dB [13]. These preliminary results already constitute record values for a millimeter-wave accelerator-class amplifier.…”

“…Currently, at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), the X-band magnicon can produce 25MW of power with a pulse length of 200ns and a repetition rate of 10Hz (Gold 2007). At a much higher frequency, 34GHz, 17MW of power has also been generated (Nezhevenko 2005). …”

“…The magnicon [1,2] has had a set of transverse correction coils installed around the cathode so as to steer the beam so as to correct for any misalignment in the beam optics. After installation the magnicon produced stable, repeatable output pulses shown in Fig.…”
Section: The Yale/omega-p 34 Ghz Magniconmentioning
New results of experimental tests of the Yale/Omega-P Ka-band magnicon are presented. The main goal is to achieve stable and repeatable operation necessary for operation of a high-power accelerator test facility. In order to direct the beam along the tube axis, steering coils were installed between the gun and the RF system, thereby allowing an increase in pulse width and achievement of good stability and repeatability of the output signal. The test facility is briefly described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
