Radio frequency for particle accelerators: evolution and anatomy of a technology

Accelerator Physics 2012-01-12 v1

Abstract

This introductory lecture outlines the impressive progress of radio frequency technology, from the first table-top equipment to the present gigantic installations. The outcome of 83 years of evolution is subsequently submitted to an anatomical analysis, which allows identifying the main components of a modern RF system and their interrelations.
