Abstract

A C-band (5,712 MHz) RF system for an e+e- linear collider at 500 GeV center-of-mass energy requires total 4,080 units of 50 MW pulse klystrons and matching 111 MW peak-power modulators for two main linacs. An initial design value of the wall plug power for the entire RF system is 150 MW with 2.5 μsec RF pulse width and 100 Hz pulse repetition rate. A detailed circuit analysis shows that it is possible to get the overall RF system efficiency of approximately 24%, or equivalent to 210 MW wall plug power. This includes 85% DC high voltage charging efficiency using compact inverter power supplies, and 70% pulse efficiency using 3.5 μsec pulse length (ESW) with less than 1% flat top ripple, and auxiliary powers for thyratron heater, klystron heater, focusing magnet, pulse transformer reset, and etc
