	The development of compact, cost effective sources of high-energy electron beams is a major thrust of the Colorado State University Accelerator Laboratory team. In this paper we describe a way to generate usable X-Band RF power suitable for powering an X-Band accelerating structure to overall potentials significantly higher than what we are presently able to obtain from our L-Band photocathode RF gun system. The concept relies on the use of the L-band accelerator beam to generate the X-band power that is then delivered to a suitable X-band structure. Once powered this X-band structure can be used to accelerate an electron bunch to high beam energies.

	Accelerating structures operated at X-band frequencies have been shown to regularly achieve gradients of around 100 MV/m or better. Obviously, use of such technology can lead to more compact particle accelerators. At the Colorado State University Accelerator Laboratory we would like to adapt this technology to our L-band (1.3 GHz) accelerator system via a 2-beam configuration that capitalizes on the high gradients achievable in X-band accelerating structures in order to increase our overall beam energy in a manner that does not require investment in an expensive, custom, high-power X-band klystron system. A novel configuration has been proposed. Here we provide the design details of the X-band accelerator system that will allow us to achieve our goal of reaching the maximum practical net potential across the X-band accelerating structure.
