Abstract :
A high efficiency, high power magnicon at 34.272 GHz has been designed and built as a microwave source to develop RF technology for a future multi-TeV electron-positron linear collider. To develop this technology, this new RF source is being perfected for necessary tests of accelerating structures, RF pulse compressors, RF components, and to determine limits of breakdown and metal fatigue. To date the magnicon has produced a peak output power of 17 MW with a gain of 47 dB at a repetition rate of up to 5 Hz.
