One of Three!Tuners!
Ferrites for Booster Tuners!
R. J. Pasquinelli!
Booster tuners close to 40 years old! 28 cores per tuner, three tuners per cavity! Spare tuners in short supply! All booster cavities to be refurbished over next 18 months! Rebuilds are tedious, cores are succeptible to breakage,
water leaks, radioactive! Locate companies that can still produce cores of the
required size, permiability, and Q!

Upon first delivery!Low Q (<20) due to !Skipped heat treating!Returned and baked!µ is reduced by heat!
µ=15!Measured µ=11!Q>800 @ 43 MHz!
Can make µ=20 !by adjusting formula!

First set of sample cores delivered and tested at low level! Refurbish 40 year old biasing test jig and test cores! Build a new tuner using new cores and test! Determine how many new tuners are desired! Procure additional cores for new tuners! Assign appropriate resources (AD & TD) to build and test
tuners!
