Abstract :
A new 200 Mhz power amplifier system has been used operationally on the Bevatron Local Injector 20 MEV LINAC with two different power tetrodes: an EIMAC 4CW100,000E and a Thomson-Houston TH-535. The same basic anode and grid structures were used with both tubes. The system has provided increased power output over the 4616 tetrode previously used. Maximum operational gradients were achieved with both tubes. System testing, tube interchangeability, and high power operating data are presented
