Description

This work presents current progress on the conditioning of two new 25 kW couplers optimized for use in a compact, conduction-cooled SRF cryomodule. A connecting waveguide, previously used for conditioning the 805 MHz SNS couplers, was altered for use at 915 MHz. The necessary modifications were determined via RF modeling, while thermal analysis results identified additional cooling requirements during RF conditioning and provided insight about potential higher-power operation. Initial low-power conditioning will be performed with a 2.5 kW solid-state amplifier, with plans to use an industrial magnetron for RF conditioning at 25 kW in the near future.
