    Magic Phase
In summary, a phase wand or magic wand is a fictional object used in fantasy and science fiction stories to cast spells and perform magical feats. It is typically depicted as a thin, straight stick or rod and is not able to perform real magic. Some famous examples include the Elder Wand, the Wand of Gandalf, and the Magic Wand from Cinderella. In most depictions, a wand works by channeling the user's magical energy and is activated by a specific phrase or gesture. Only characters with magical abilities or training can use a wand, although some stories feature non-magical characters who are able to use a wand through other means.

Hi all, I have recently come across term "phase wand between the magnetron and the accelerator, to provide reflected power from the accelerator to the magnetron to adjust the magnetron frequency to match the resonance frequency of the accelerator. this basicallly used in Medical Linear accelerator systems. I didn't understand how this phase wand works and design parameters.

Regards.

Hi.
Some context could help, if you want to encourage answers.

A "phase wand" is just a "tuned stub".
