[en] The funneling of heavy ion beams can be achieved by first bending the beams by septum magnets towards the common axis, and then deflecting them onto the axis by rf-deflector elements with time varying electric field strength. The main properties of these deflection elements are discussed, especially the increase of the transverse emittance. As an example beam envelopes are shown for funneling two 100 mA, 1.7 MEV/N Bisup(+2) beams into one 108 MHz Alvarez accelerator. (orig.)
