  A Damped Detuned Structure (DDS) for CLIC main linac has been proposed as an alternative to the present baseline design which is based on heavy damping. A first prototype, CLICDDSA, for high power tests has been already designed and is under construction. It is also foreseen to design a further prototype, CLICDDSB, to test both the wakefield suppression and high power performances. Wakefield calculations for DDS are, in the early design stage, based on single infinitely periodic cells. Though cell-to-cell interaction is taken into account to calculate the wakefields, it is important to study full structure properties using computational tools. In particular this is fundamental for defining the input parameters for the HOM coupler that is crucial for the performances of DDS. In the following a full analysis of wakefields and impedances based on simulations conducted with finite difference based electromagnetic computer code GdfidL will be presented.

  A Damped Detuned Structure (DDS), known as CLICDDSA*, has been designed for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) study, and is presently under fabrication. The wakefield in DDS structures is damped using a combination of detuning the frequencies of beam-excited higher order modes and by light damping, through slot-coupled manifolds. The broad principles of the design are similar to that used in the NLC/GLC**. This serves as an alternative to the present baseline CLIC design which relies on heavy damping. CLICDDSA is conceived to be tested for its capacity to sustain high gradients at CERN. This structure operates with a 120 degrees phase advance per cell. We report on engineering design and fabrication details of the structure consisting of 24 regular cells plus 2 matching cells at both ends, all diffusion bonded together. This design takes into account practical mechanical engineering issues and is the result of several optimizations since the earlier CLICDDS designs.
