Description
A pulse compression system based on double-height waveguides was designed for the Klystron-based CLIC main linac. The system has been optimized to achieve a power gain of 3.81 with the specific pulse shape required for the CLIC-K accelerating structure. This pulse compression system is composed of a main pulse compressor based on the Barrel Open Cavity (BOC) design and 4 correction cavities based on the bowl cavity design. The BOC pulse compressor operates in the TM1,1,32 mode and has a Q0 of 2.35ร105 and a ๐ฝ of 6.6. To simplify the machining process, a novel coupling waveguide network was designed for the BOC pulse compressor. The correction cavities are based on the bowl cavity operating in the TE2,2,3 mode, with a Q0 of 7.5ร104 and a ๐ฝ of 1.95.
