Ferrite Measurements for Synchrotron RF Accelerating System Design

Ferrites provide a reliable and flexible means of electronically tuning particle accelerator rf cavities without wasting a disproportionate amount of rf power. A systematic design procedure is presented for a ferrite tuned rf resonator. Radio frequency considerations, and use of salient ferrite parameters are the prime considerations of the design example. Using requirements set forth in the rf design, a bias supply design is discussed with respect to optimization of overall system design.
