Abstract
Problem analysis of tested TESLA coupler shows that the microwave discharge is a possible problem. Two new designs are presented. During previous tests of TESLA input coupler (doorknob with cylindrical ceramic window) it was unable to continuously operate above 300--400 kW and a small area of the coupler (area A in Figure 1) where the metal doorknob and ceramic window are only 2 mm apart was coated with metal by unidentified mechanism. In order to understand the problem and help the following designs, it is necessary to analyze possible mechanisms for the problem.
