Abstract
The Next Generation Linear Collider will require pulse modulators capable of driving over 1600 NLC klystrons at 500 kV, approximately 265 A, with 3.2 microsecond pulses at 180 Hz with strict tolerances for flattop and voltage regulation. In 1999, Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) was awarded two Phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants from the Department of Energy to assess the application of solid state switching technology to the NLC. DTI's efforts are focused on three modulator configurations: a hybrid modulator, a transformerless design and a solid state Marx bank switch.
