Phase Tuning Results of the Waveguide Network System at Pal

Abstract

We report the results of the phase tuning of the waveguide network system with the C-clamp tool and the resonance frequency tuning for the SLAC energy doubler. The high power waveguide network which dividing and feeding the power to the four accelerating structures. The phase length is adjusted within ± 0.25 degrees with a transmission phase measuring method. The resonant frequency range for the SLAC energy doubler is 2856 MHz ± 5 kHz, but a target range is 2856 MHz ± 1 kHz. We measured the phase length and an amplitude with a vector network analyser. The test setup consists of a SLED, a waveguide network, directional couplers, phase stable cables. All components of the waveguide networks were manufactured at VITZRO TECH and tested at the accelerator tunnel in the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL).
