Abstract
This paper describes the design and testing of a pulsed 600-kW tetrode amplifier that will be used to drive a radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ) for the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). Three stages of amplification provide a nominal gain of 77 dB and peak output power of 600 kW. The amplifier is operated at a pulse width of 100 μs and a repetition frequency of 10 Hz. This paper presents the RF design and calculated operating conditions for the amplifier. Details of the electrical design are presented, along with test results
