A 100 kW 1.3 GHz phase locked magnetron for accelerators

Calabazas Creek Research, Inc., in collaboration with Fermilab and Communications & Power Industries, LLC, is developing a phase locked, 100 kW peak, 10 kW average 1.3 GHz magnetron-based RF system for driving accelerators. Phase locking will be achieved using an approach originated at Fermilab [1] that includes control of both amplitude and phase on a fast time scale. Experimental results, including demonstration of phase locking, are reported.
