A linear accelerator incorporating a bar loading structure and utilizing microwave feedback is described. The characteristics of the bar structure required for the design are the attenuation length and the coupling impedance. Methods for obtaining these parameters are discussed and the pertinent measurement techniques are described. The design of the feedback loop and the over-all characteristics of the accelerator with feedback are presented. Beam loading losses were introduced and the resultant output energy was calculated for different values of beam loading. These results are presented in the form of a curve which depicts the output energy as a function of accelerator length with beam loading as a parameter. The over-all system is described with particular mention of the auxiliary equipment needed for operation. (auth)
