THE RCA 6949 AS A SELF-EXCITED CYCLOTRON OSCILLATOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4780553
The oscillator of the 88-in. cyclotron which is being built in Berkeley is tunable from 5.3 to 16.5 Mc. It delivers a maximum c-w power of 300 kw. At the rated dee voltage of 75 kv the resonator stores 4.5 joules of electrical energy. The transients produced by this amount of energy, during sparking, place unusual requirements upon the design of the oscillator tube. The features of the oscillator which make it particularly well-suited to this type of application are discussed. Other topics covered are the oscillator anode power supply, the hard- tube modulator, protective equipment, and oscillator instrumentation. (auth)
