Radio-‐frequency and mm-‐wave sources
• accelera&ng cavity needs to be excited by radiofrequency ](RF) or mm waves.
• RF are typically produced in – klystrons – magnetron
• high frequency (mm) waves are produced in klystrons and other type of “back-‐ wave oscillators”

Principle of an RF source
• transform a dc electron beam into a train of bunches
• use this train to excite a radia&ve process • emiUed radia&on is coherently enhanced at the bunching frequency (see HW3)

Simple theory
• 1st stage: produc&on of a dc electron beam – the beam kine&c energy is given by the applied DC voltage:
• 2nd stage is to apply a &me-‐dependent voltage on the bunch

efficiency (at fundamental f)
• maximum current is • for so that output power at the fundamental frequency (n=1) is
• ~60% efficiency conver&ng DC power into the fundamental harmonic
• addi&onal contribu&on comes from the output coupling (power extrac&on from the cavity)
