Abstract :
In this paper, design, fabrication and cold test of window couplers are discussed. The SNS prototype window couplers contain an alumina disk window and a water cooled center conductor. Standard microwave tube industry fabrication procedures were used to assemble the window coupler. These window couplers utilize a unique compression ring technology.
