DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/826923· OSTI ID:826923

The Next Linear Collider accelerator is developing a high efficiency, highly reliable, and low cost pulsed-power modulator to drive the NLC 500KV, 230A X band klystrons. The induction of fractional turn transformer is most applicable for short pulse width of less than 1.5 microseconds due to the size of the induction cores involved. This paper will cover the techniques SLAC is developing to use the induction modulator in longer pulse operation of up to 15 microseconds. The 3 microseconds SLAC design as will, as the proposals for wider pulse application will be discussed.
