120 kW 49 MHz Circulator for the Bunch Splitting RF System

The Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC (BSA) is seeking expressions of interest from firms regarding the production of three 120 kW 49 MHz circulators for the bunch splitting radio-frequency (RF) system of the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC)'s hadron storage ring. The circulators will be used to protect the power amplifiers and coaxial transmission lines from reflected power. The BSA is looking for companies with experience in producing similar circulators and the ability to conduct high-power testing. • The circulators must be capable of handling pulsed and continuous wave (CW) operation. • The companies must provide a technical description of how the unit handles pulsed vs CW operation and its response to the pulsed one. • The companies must provide lead times, including non-recurring engineering and production phases. • The companies must provide information on testing capabilities, including high-power testing.
