the Remaining Portion of the Klystron RF Pulse the Bridge Input Power (red) is Automatically Directed into

• Because the resonant ring automatically limits energy Because the resonant ring automatically limits energy deposition during RF breakdown events, it is possible to deposition during RF breakdown events, it is possible to continue operating at threshold values of surface gradient continue operating at threshold values of surface gradient without trip interruptions. Thus, by also operating at a low without trip interruptions. Thus, by also operating at a low pulse repetition rate, the pulse by pulse progression of the RF pulse repetition rate, the pulse by pulse progression of the RF processing mechanism can be continually monitored and processing mechanism can be continually monitored and studied as the RF pulse parameters are varied.studied as the RF pulse parameters are varied.
