Agenda:
The design, the manufacturing and the low
power test results for the
overmoded 30 GHz power line will be presented.
Possible scenarios for a CTF3 30 GHz
pulse compressor will be discussed.
Sergey presented the High-Power
Low-Loss TE01 Transmission Line for CTF-3. He showed details
of the different components making up the line and presented the
assembly and low power tests done in CTF2. The line behaves very close
to the theoretical expectation.
Then he presented ideas and tests for multi-moded SLED-II pulse
compressors. Large volume TE01 mode cavities can be very
efficient delay lines, much shorter than classical delay lines,
allowing for a reduction of 10-50 times the length of the lines. He
showed the idea of one-channel SLED-II pulse compressor based on
ring-like cavities, where different modes travel in the opposite
directions, and compressors based on multi-mirror delay lines.
