A fan-out RF power distribution system can allow
many accelerating cavities to be powered by a single
high-power klystron amplifier. High-power vector
modulators can perform independent control of
amplitudes and phases of RF voltages at the cavities
without changing the klystron signal. A prototype highpower
RF vector modulator employing a quadrature
hybrid and two ferrite phase shifters in coaxial TEM
transmission lines has been built and tested for 402.5
MHz. RF properties of the design and results of high
power testing are presented.
