Subcritical-voltage magnetron RF power source

A system and method of operating a magnetron power source can achieve a broad range of output power control by operating a magnetron with its cathode voltage lower than that needed for free running oscillations (e.g., below the Kapitsa critical voltage or equivalently below the Hartree voltage) A sufficiently strong injection-locking signal enables the output power to be coherently generated and to be controlled over a broad power range by small changes in the cathode voltage. In one embodiment, the present system and method is used for a practical, single, frequency-locked 2-magnetron system design.

Qualifying AL-800 Garnet For The Fermilab Booster Perpendicular Biased 2nd Harmonic RF Cavity

Al-800 garnet was evaluated for the perpendicular biased 2nd harmonic cavity for the Fermilab Booster accelerator. A test apparatus was designed to evaluate the magnetic permeability and batch consistency of small witness samples of Al-800. Fully assembled AL-800 garnet rings were tested on the garnet ring test stand to measure the resonant frequency and quality factor of each ring. The garnet witness samples and assembled garnet rings showed acceptable consistency within the parameters set by the cavity design team. Based on the test results, AL-800 garnet was deemed suitable for use in the perpendicular biased 2nd harmonic cavity.
