A High Voltage, High Rep-Rate, High Duty Factor Stacked Transformer Modulator

Conference · · No journal information
OSTI ID:3019866
A high voltage modulator has been built and installed at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory for the purpose of driving the gun anode of the Tevatron Electron Lens (TEL). It produces a defined voltage for each of the 36 (anti)proton bunches. This modulator employs five transformers to produce high voltage at a high repetition rate and high duty factor. It is capable of outputting sustained complex waveforms having peak voltages over 6 kV and average periodic rates up to 450 kHz with voltage transitions occurring at 395 ns intervals. This paper describes key aspects of the hardware design and performance.
