A method for operating an arrangement of equipment that include a pulse generator for generating electrical pulses, a microwave generator with a break-through voltage, and a transmission element is provided. For transmission of the pulses, the pulse generator is connected to the microwave generator via the transmission element, which in the arrangement of equipment, acts as an impedance varying over time. The voltage characteristic over time or the current characteristic over time of each pulse is defined such that in an operating mode, the impedance of the transmission element is matched to the impedance of the microwave generator when the break-through voltage is reached.

Flexible impedance matching for a microwave generator supplied with pulse current

A method for pulsed operation of a linear accelerator includes generating pulses of charged particles. The generating includes emitting particles by a particle source and accelerating the particles in an accelerator device that includes a plurality of linked cavity resonators. The accelerator device is supplied with energy by an energy supply unit. Particle energy is changed solely by varying a number of particles emitted by the particle source per pulse.
