| Popis: | Abstarct India is developing a very high power test bed (∼MW level) based on concept of Travelling Wave Resonator (TWR) for testing of passive transmission line components [3] . Data acquisition and control system is required for safe and reliable operation of TWR. It includes online monitoring of input power and circulating ring power. Acquired RF signal provides information about forward and reflected RF power. For MW power level testing, system is protected against arc and thermal effect during CW operation. National Instrument make hardware and software have been used to acquire signals from RF detector, Arc detectors, IR camera and thermocouples etc. LabVIEW™ based software has been developed for calculation of RF parameters. Graphical user interface is developed for better visualization. Initial testing of the TWR setup with 10 dB coupler provides a power gain of 13.58 dB (22X). For future 3 MW TWR test bed the required power gain is ∼20 dB (100X) since the available source is ∼40 kW. This paper describes the detail design and integrated test results for data acquisition and control system for TWR test bed. |
