Abstract
We present a comparison, between options for pulse compression systems that provide RF power to the main linac of the Next Linear Collider (NLC). The parameters which are compared are efficiency, number of components and length of RF storage lines. Based on these parameters we produce a cost model for each system as a function of compression ratio, number of RF sources per unit system, and storage line parameters. The systems considered are delay line distribution systems, binary pulse compression, and resonant delay lines (SLED-II). For all these systems we consider possible improvements through the use of several modes, active switches, and circulators.
