Regulation of the waveguide coupling factor of standing wave linear accelerator allows to adjust the value of accelerated current, keeping the reflected RF power close to zero. This ensures the most efficient use of RF energy and absence of overvoltage in the waveguide elements. The paper presents studies results for various methods of coupling factors regulation with continuous wave (CW) normal conducting linear accelerator used as an example. The results of calculations and measurements on the mock-up of the accelerating structure are presented.
