Motivations

The re-cycling of RF power in a Traveling Wave structure can potentially allow for increase of the RF-to-beam efficiency. Compared to the conventional TW, in this regime, there is no power dissipated in RF load during steady state operation.The beam loading compensation comes naturally for this scheme. With application of the tunable element in a feedback loop it is possible to terminate the power delivery into the accelerating structure (alternative to the Petsonov)

For any azimuthal position, the structure RF input phase remains constant.!

The RF power divider/combiner is a key element of the scheme. It can be build in a different ways (classical planar hybrid for example). However it is very useful to have the design which provide certain tuning capability of the system:

Depending on the polarizer azimuthal orientation, the different regimes of operation can be realized: # 0. No recirculation (α=0) # 1. Optimal with recirculation # 2. Off mode (no power delivered to the structure)

Discussion

The first exercise with re-circulation optimised for the present CLIC accelerating structure (CLIC-G) showed quite a potential: the RF-to-beam efficiency can be increased by ~ 12% (from 27.7% to 31 %) The same time, PETS peak power reduction by ~ 16% will also bring a number of advantages.Following certain self-protection mechanism in the structure during RF breakdown, one can expect, that it will be exposed to the less damage. The development of the “simple”, electrically controlled high RF power phase shifter can significantly increase the flexibility and value of the system.
