Magnetrons excel at many RF source requirements
• Power: >100 kW CW and MW scale pulsed operation– average power capability increase with lower frequency
• Efficiency: High power devices > 85% at L-band• Power supply voltage: typically < 25kV • Low cost: $0.50/watt at 100kW and 50 units• Small size: 100 kW pulsed 1300 MHz tube is <1 foot high and
does not require an oil tank• They are easy to replace and rebuild and can be designed for
a reasonably long life and low noise when injection locked• However, they are basically a constant power device, not a
linear amplifier like a klystron

Amplitude control by fast phase modulation technique
Magnetrons are constant output power devices. However, the power in the carrier destined for the cavity can be reduced by fast phase modulation, moving power from the carrier into discreet Bessel sidebands that are outside the cavity bandwidth. These sidebands will be reflected from the cavity and back to the circulator load

Phase Modulation Equations
Used for generation of amplitude-to-phase LUT. Generates a lookup table such that the regionBefore the first null in the Bessel is covered by the controller. Allows for linearization correctionsby just adding a scaling table.

Magnetron Control R&D moving forward
• Cathode voltage and solenoid current control is a logical choice for slow amplitude control to optimize efficiency for operating conditions– there is potential for moderate bandwidth with switch-mode PS– should be a part of any scheme
• RF vector control through fast phase modulation is a potential fit for many machine designs– single tube design with greatest hardware simplicity– at the cost of control complexity
• Working towards a 650 MHz 150 kW magnetron for industrial accelerators

Summary
• The magnetron has been a remarkable RF source for 75 years that is unparalleled in cost and highly efficient. It is widely used for industrial heating and smaller electron accelerators but has had little impact in hadron accelerators
• There are now several control architectures that can take advantage of the processing capabilities of modern FPGAs
• Initial testing with a 1.3 GHz 100 kW 10% duty factor magnetron and controller using fast phase modulation is complete.
• Magnetrons may be a strong contender for high power, high efficiency accelerators
