FERROELECTRIC PROPERTIESFOR ACCELERATOR APPLICATIONS

- The dielectric constant should not exceed 300-500 to avoid problems caused by interference from high-order modes and extra wall losses.

- The dielectric constant should be variable by 15-20% to provide the required switching and tuning properties.

- Bias electric fields required to adjust the permittivity within this range should be reasonable, ~few 10’s of kV/cm - The loss tangent should be in the range of few10-3 or lower at 11-34 GHz to allow switching at 120-180 Hz rep rate.

FERROELECTRIC PROPERTIES

- very short intrinsic response time of ~10–10 - 10-11 sec ( 1 ns for circuits)

- high dielectric breakdown strength of 150-200 kV/cm

- high vacuum compatibility

- easy mechanical treatment (similar to conventional ceramic)

Ferroelectrics should have the following properties to operate in high-power rf switching and tuning devices:

- - 300-500 [500-600 current, recently reduced to 200-250]- variation - 10% - 20% at 50 kV/cm, [15% - E┴, >30% E║]- DC field - 10’s of kV/cm loss [20-60 kV/cm tested]- tanδ~10-2-10-3 at 11-35 GHz [5×10-3 at X-band, 5 – 10 ×10-4 700 MHz ]
