Abstract

The next linear collider (NLC) accelerator proposal at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) requires a high efficiency, highly reliable, and low cost pulsed power modulator to drive the X band klystrons. The present NLC RF compression technique needed a modulator to drive 4 Klystrons at 400 kV, 1300 A for 1.6 muS at 60 PPS (>500 megawatt pulse, 80 kW average). A prototype NLC solid-state induction modulator was modified to drive this new klystron array. The prototype induction modulator utilizes a three-turn secondary with 76 single "fraction turn" primary to produce the 400 kV pulse. The design, testing and operational experience will be discussed
