Abstract

Resonant structure is one of the proposed methods in combining power in RF systems of RF accelerators. In this structure, fabrication of RF power divider or combiner using coaxial and cylindrical cavity is important. In this study, two combiners, in the same frequency band, are designed and fabricated; and their results are compared. The experimental results confirmed the simulation results and showed that compared with cyclical cavity, the power combiner with coaxial cavity is smaller, more easily adjustable, and is more suitable for use in RF systems of RF accelerators
