摘要

To validate the design rationality of the power coupler for the RFQ cavity and minimize cavity contamination, we designed a low-loss offline conditioning cavity and conducted high-power testing. This offline cavity features two coupling ports and two tuners, operating at a frequency of \({162.5}\,\textrm{MHz}\) 162.5 MHz with a tuning range of \({3.2}\,\textrm{MHz}\) 3.2 MHz . Adjusting the installation angle of the coupling ring and the insertion depth of the tuner helps minimize cavity losses. We performed electromagnetic structural and multiphysics simulations, revealing a minimal theoretical power loss of \({4.3}\,{\%}\) 4.3 % . However, when the cavity frequency varied by \({110}\,\textrm{kHz}\) 110 kHz , theoretical power losses increased to \({10}\,{\%}\) 10 % , necessitating constant tuner adjustments during conditioning. Multiphysics simulations indicated that increased cavity temperature did not affect frequency variation. Upon completion of the offline high-power conditioning platform, we measured the transmission performance, revealing a power loss of \({6.3}\,{\%}\) 6.3 % , exceeding the theoretical calculation. Conditioning utilized efficient automatic range scanning and standing wave resonant methods. To fully condition the power coupler, a \({15}^\circ\) 15 phase difference between two standing wave points in the conditioning system was necessary. Notably, the maximum continuous wave power surpassed \({20}\,\textrm{kW}\) 20 kW , exceeding the expected target.
