Fabrication Studies for a Cylindrical DDS Structure at 90 GHz
A natural extension of work on the next generation of high power RF sources and accelerating cavities for Linear Colliders implies cylindrical, damped, detuned structures for millimeter wavelengths. Commercial availability of WR-10 waveguides and other components in the 75-110 GHz range provides a practical goal. Fabrication methods are surveyed, compared and, in some cases, tested to determine whether they can provide the imposed tolerances. Different techniques and tolerances are compared to previous methods at longer wavelengths. The higher gradients and corresponding surface fields indicate that a better understanding of the surface physics is required as well as how the different fabrication steps influence those surface characteristics that impact the final operation. We consider existing systems at SLAC and elsewhere as a function of frequency to determine what is desirable to measure and control for all phases of the fabrication, testing, conditioning and use of these systems. For example, the importance of crystal structure to the different steps is discussed. The preferred method allows a variety of design alternatives to be pursued simultaneously and extends to shorter wavelengths as well as provides possibilities for embedded test and control elements.
