Forced RF generation of CW magnetrons for superconducting accelerators

CW magnetrons, designed and optimized for industrial RF heaters, were suggested to power Superconducting RF cavities due to their higher efficiency and lower cost than traditional klystrons, IOT’s, or solid-state amplifiers. RF amplifiers driven by a master-oscillator serve as coherent RF sources. CW magnetrons are regenerative RF generators with a huge regenerative gain. Very large regenerative gain causes instability with intense noise when a magnetron operates with the anode voltage higher than the threshold of self-excitation. Traditionally for stabilization of magnetrons is used injection-locking by a quite small signal. In this case the CW magnetrons do not provide correlation of the magnetron startup with the injection-locking signal. Thus, the magnetron except the injection locked oscillations may generate large noise. This may increase emittance of the beam in SRF accelerators. Recently we have developed mode for forced RF generation of CW magnetrons when the magnetron startup is provided by the injected forcing signal and the regenerative noise is suppressed. The mode is most suitable for SRF accelerators. The mode is briefly described below.
