  2. RF System • The AREAL RF system will consist of 3 RF stations: • Each RF station has a 1 klystron, and HV modulator, a low-level RF system, preamplifier and an interlock and control system. • 1 station required for RF Gun • 2 stations for 1m long accelerating sections operation • LLRF systems which controls the amplitude and the phase of the RF • RF power 7 MW in peak at 3 GHz • Interlock and control system.

  3. The required operation parameters • Peak power 6 MW • Gradient 17 MV/m • RF pulse duration 1-2 µs • Repetition rate 1-2 Hz

  4. RF Power Source • Frequency 3 GHz • RF Pulse Duration 1-2 µs • Repetition Rate 1-2 Hz • Cathode Voltage 190 - 200 kV • Beam Current 95 - 105A • HV Pulse Duration 1-2 µs • RF Peak Power 7 MW

  5. K211 Klystron parameters • Output Power peak 7 MW • Efficiency 40 % • Gain (min. dB) 31 • Beam voltage 200 KV • Beam peak current 92A

  6. KY211 klystron main parameters • Water and Air Cooling For Operat. Rate (50Hz) • Water flow to body 3.64 l/min min • Water flow to collector 20.5 l/min min • Resistance of cooling water 50 kOhm cm min • Air flow to output window 85 l/min min • Cooling Air pressure 2.1 kg/cm2min

  7. Gain in dB KY211 klystron main parameters Peak RF Output Power in MW Peak RF Input Power in kW

  8. Low level radio frequency control Characteristics of Signal/Probes: • Phase stability 0.1 deg@3GHz • Amplitude stability 0.1% • Amplitude dynamic range 30 dB • Ready to be integrated into the EPICS control system The LLRF system ordered by I-Tech LIBERA.

  9. RF control System Requirements for the RF control system • Phase and amplitude stability of the accelerating field during 2 µs flat-top RF pulse. • field amplitude control 0.1% • Phase control 0.1° • A frequency and phase stable master oscillator for RF reference signals to measure the cavity fields. The RF control system will provide • remote control for all RF components, • to enable the change of the necessary parameters such as waveguide tuners, phase shifters, etc.

  10. Master Oscillator The Master oscillator designed by InWave AG according to our requirements. • Frequency ports: • 1x 1Hz 1x 9MHz • 1x 2Hz 1x 81MHz • 1x 9MHz 1x 250MHz • 1x 81MHz 2x 90MHz • 1x 125MHz 2x 10MHz (Secondary) • 1x 250MHz 1x 10MHz (main) • 2x 500MHz • 1x 1GHz • 2x 3GHz

  18. RF Test stand • The wave impedance of the cable must match the impedance of the klystron transformers primary side to avoid distortion of the pulse shape. To achieve that it is supposed to use 7 cables in parallel, each of 18 mm2 cross section, 37Ω impedance, and an outer diameter of 20 mm. • 4 power supplies are required to enable the operation of the klystron and the modulator, the klystron focusing solenoid, the klystron filament, vacuum pump and the Interlock. • The interlock system protects the accelerator and the RF stations. Besides the modulator interlock system, an additional digital interlock system for the RF system is required. • It will be based on programmable logic devices which can be easily modified upon necessity. • The Digital Interlock System will be implemented after the LINAC first stage completion.
