Abstract :
High Power Coaxial RF Couplers (50 kW, CW, 350 MHz) with inductive coupling are presently under development at NPD, BARC. These couplers require high power conditioning for their successful operation. A compact coaxial resonator has been designed and developed. Low power prototype has been tested and tuned to the desired frequency with good agreement between CST Microwave simulations and measurement results. In this paper salient features of these developments are presented.
