S-band RF Circulator System for Electron Accelerator |
|
This is a rebuilt S-band (2856 MHz) four port RF circulator system, which can protect an S-band klystron against the reflected high RF power (5 MW peak, 12 kW average) from S-band electron linear accelerator. This system consists of one S-band ferrite RF circulator, three L-shape S-band waveguide connectors, four 1 m long S-band waveguides, two S-band RF loads, and two 60 dB S-band RF directional couplers. |
