505 MHz RF grounding for INDUS-2, 2.5 GeV synchrotron radiation source

摘要

A high frequency grounding network is realized for RF system of Indus-2, 2.5 GeV synchrotron radiation sources being built at CAT, Indore. Proper soil conditioning is made to improve the effectiveness of grounding pits of this network. Various factors influencing the performance of grounding system are discussed to enhance the safety of personnel as well as the protection of equipments. Steps are taken to realize low impedance RF grounding plane for 505 MHz.
