Popis: Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) has built two short pulse, solid-state klystron transmitters for Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Daresbury Laboratory in England. The units are similar, and part of DTI’s plan to establish standard laboratory transmitter for short pulse (microseconds) and long pulse (milliseconds) accelerators. The DTI design for short pulse klystron transmitters is based on the combination of a high voltage solid-state switch with a conventional 1:10 pulse transformer and a simple passive pulse corrector (bouncer). The unique passive circuitry gives an extremely flat output pulse as required for advanced accelerator applications. The optimized primary voltage (~35 kV) allows key simplifications in the transformer and the overall transmitter. The combination of a simple and proven circuit topology with properly de-rated components ensures long lifetime and reliable operation.
