A Method of Feeding Micro-wave Power into a Resonator having a Fine Mode Structure

Abstract

IN the course of investigations into the design of a micro-wave linear accelerator of the resonant type, to operate at 3,000 mc./s. (cf. Fry1), we have succeeded in feeding power into a 24-cavity evacuated resonator 120 cm. long, having a separation in frequency of only 0·2 per cent (that is, 6 Mc./s.) between the required mode of operation and the adjacent mode. The required mode had a phase difference of π between currents in adjacent cavities.
