SLAC is committed to developing an X-band source capable of producing 100 Megawatt, 1 microsecond pulses to power the next linear collider. The first experience encountered at SLAC in the X-Band Regime above a few Megawatts was in the relativistic klystron program in cooperation with LLNL and LBL. About 280 MW had been transmitted through a variety of waveguide components but at very short pulse widths ({approximately}40 nanseconds) and very low pulse repetition rates. The likelihood of high peak power rf breakdown in most X-band components and especially rf windows increases as the rf pulse length becomes longer. Testing components at peak power levels above that at which they are expected to reliably perform is essential in a development program.
