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 future multi-TeV electron-positron linear colliders. To develop this technology, this new rf source is being perfected for necessary tests of mm-wave accelerating structures, RF pulse compressors, RF components, and to determine limits of breakdown and metal fatigue. The description of this magnicon and first experimental results are presented in this paper.
