主 题:S-band Flexible waveguide High vacuum Microwave commissioning
摘 要:Purpose Flexible waveguides,which allow for greater deformation as compared to traditional hard waveguides,are highly useful for simplifying waveguide system ***,the peak powers of these waveguides have been limited to several megawatts in non-vacuum ***,a novel flexible waveguide was developed for the S-band(2856 MHz)with the aim of facilitating the interconnection of two hard *** The flexible waveguide was composed of brass,and its surface was plated with oxygen-free high-conductivity copper for brazing with stainless steel flanges in a vacuum *** connecting the stainless steel flanges together,it can be applied to a high-vacuum *** The prototype exhibited good measurement results in low-power microwave tests;the results of a 72-h vacuum leak test showed satisfactory vacuum performance as well,and no obvious surface collapse was ***-power microwave commissioning was conducted between June and July 2019;the waveguide showed a maximum average power of approximately 2.7 *** Unfortunately,the prototype was damaged after reaching that power level,which indicates the need for further optimization of the fabrication *** our experiment,it is clear that the flexible waveguide cannot be used in large accelerators because of its average power limit.
