We describe the potential of semiconductor X-band RF switch arrays as a means of developing high power RF pulse compression systems for future linear colliders. We describe design methodology of high power RF switches, and scaling law which governs the relation between power handling capability and number of elements. The design and implementation of the active waveguide window is presented. The waveguide window is a silicon wafer with an array of four hundred PIN/NIP diodes covering the surface of the window. This waveguide window is located in an over-moded TE01 circular waveguide. The results of low power and high power RF measurements of the active waveguide window are presented. The high power experiment is performed at power levels of several megawatts at X-band.read more

Optically controlled 30 ghz high power active rf phase switch for the ctf3 rf pulse compressor
TL;DR: In this article, an over-moded RF circuit with an active element made from a semiconductor controlled by a laser beam is proposed to make the operation of the whole 30 GHz power production complex more reliable and robust with the potential to increase the compression efficiency.
Summary of the rf-technology working group (t3)
TL;DR: The next generation linear collider will require high-power microwave sources and accelerating systems vastly more challenging than its predecessor, the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC), and cost efficiency will demand high accelerating gradient to achieve beam energies five to ten times greater than in the SLC as mentioned in this paper.
