| Abstract |
An overmoded hybrid Photonic Band Gap (HPBG) structure used as an accelerator cavity has been theoretically designed and high power tested at 17.1 GHz. The HPBG structure consists of a triangular lattice of dielectric (sapphire) and metallic (copper) rods. Due to the frequency selectivity, the hybrid PBG cavity can be operated in a TM02 mode. The maximum surface fields are on the triple point of the innermost row of the sapphire rods. The relatively high value of the surface fields resulted in a high breakdown rate (BDR) at a low gradient in the HPBG structure. Breakdown damage on the triple point edge and the metallization of copper onto the sapphire surface have been observed in the post-testing images. An improved HPBG design, that reduces the peak fields, has been developed. It will be built and tested in an effort to improve the HPBG performance.
