Title: ALTERNATIVE RF PULSE COMPRESSION SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS FOR LINEAR COLLIDERS

Abstract

Over the years, various concepts have been developed for the temporal compression of high power pulsed rf. Such techniques are integral to the efficient design of linear colliders whose power sources can produce pulses of structures. While ideas for active pulse compression have been and are being pursued, the most promising systems consist of passive waveguide circuits controlled by the phasing of the rf sources. Beyond the well-known SLED [1] technique, long employed in the SLAC linac, these include Binary Pulse Compression [2], SLED-II [3], and DLDS [4]. We describe here some variations on and combinations of these techniques. New possibilities involve cascading, multimoding, and hybrid systems. Considerations such as efficiency, length of delay line waveguide, and component cost provide a basis for comparison and evaluation of different configurations.
