ERLP/4GLS Low Level RF System
The Energy Recovery Linac Prototype
A.J. Moss, C.D. Beard (CCLRC/DL/ASTeC)
(ERLP) being constructed at Daresbury Laboratory
will use an analog-based low level
RF (LLRF) control system designed and built at FZR Rossendorf. Once the machine is operating, the testing and
development of a digital LLRF feedback system will take place using the ERLP as a testbed.
MICE RF Test Stand
The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment
A.J. Moss, P.A. Corlett, J.F. Orrett (CCLRC/DL/ASTeC)
(MICE) RF test stand is being assembled at
Daresbury Laboratory. This will provide a
test bed for power amplifiers to produce the 2MW 200MHz RF for the MICE experiment RF cavities. Initial design
and proposed layout of the RF system are described.
IOT Testing at the ERLP

The testing of Inductive Output Tubes (IOT)
at 1.3GHz is underway for use on the Energy
Recovery Linac Prototype (ERLP) being constructed
at Daresbury Laboratory. A 50KV
high voltage power supply (HVPS) has been commissioned and characterised for use as a test RF supply. This will be
used to power the ERLP RF system in both continuous and pulse modes of operation. First results are presented of
the IOTs and the use of the HVPS system.
RF Amplifier for Next Generation Light Sources
This paper describes the design concepts
E. Radcliffe, J.S. Przybyla (e2v Technologies)
and development issues around generating
a compact 16kW 1.3GHz RF amplifier for use
in the next generation of light sources. These amplifiers need to be operated for extended periods to maximise use
of the facility and so high reliability and availability are of key importance. Equally important are the capabilities
to have extensive self-monitoring and fault prediction, autonomous operation, low heat dissipation to air, and easy
maintenance. The design and development of such an RF amplifier based on the latest e2v technologies 1.3GHz
inductive output tube (IOT) will be described. The RF amplifier equipment makes extensive use of commercially
available products and industry collaborations to produce an amplifier that meets all the requirements yet can be
manufactured and operated in a most cost effective manner. Prototype equipment will be shown at EPAC 06.
