| Development of a 150 kW CW RF power delivery system for 1300 MHz superconducting cavities is under way at Cornell University in collaboration with MEPhI. The system is based on a twin-coupler consisting of two identical coaxial antenna-type couplers derived from the TTF-3 input coupler design. Because the average power is much higher than in the TTF-3 coupler, the required coupling is stronger and we wanted to avoid multipacting phenomena, major changes were made to the prototype design. Presented coupler has completely redesigned cold part and significantly improved cooling of warm bellows. The results of thermal and mechanical stress calculations are reported. The magnitudes and phases of RF fields applied to each side of the twin-coupler must be very close to each other. This imposes very strict requirements upon a power dividing system. These requirements and proposed layout of a system satisfying them are discussed. |
