Modelling, measurement and construction of the stripline kickers for the Tevatron transverse dampers

Description: In this paper, we will describe the modelling, measurement and construction of the stripline kickers for the Tevatron transverse dampers. We will show that the odd/even impedances calculated using Poisson gave very good results when compared to the measured odd/even impedances of a stripline prototype. Using the prototype, we will show how we had adjusted the launch impedance so that the reflection coefficient s<sub>11</sub> < -35 dB between 0 to 100 MHz. We will also show the final design of t… more
