Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 12, 030402 (2009) [11 pages]Shaping the output pulse of a linear-transformer-driver module
We demonstrate that a wide variety of current-pulse shapes can be generated using a linear-transformer-driver (LTD) module that drives an internal water-insulated transmission line. The shapes are produced by varying the timing and initial charge voltage of each of the module’s cavities. The LTD-driven accelerator architecture outlined in [ Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 10 030401 (2007)] provides additional pulse-shaping flexibility by allowing the modules that drive the accelerator to be triggered at different times. The module output pulses would be combined and symmetrized by water-insulated radial-transmission-line impedance transformers [ Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 11 030401 (2008)].
