Abstract

In an electron storage ring of Pohang Light Source (PLS), electrons lose their energy in every turn by the synchronous radiation. A high power RF amplifier is employed to compensate the electron energy that is lost by the synchronous radiation. The specification of RF amplifier is an continuous output power of 60 kW at 500.082 MHz operating frequency. The power is supplied to RF cavities in the storage ring tunnel. Total number of amplifier system currently required is three. Tile total number will be increased upto five as the operating condition of storage ring is upgraded. The RF amplifier is mainly consisted of a high voltage DC power supply, an intermediate RF power amplifier (IPA), and a klystron tube. In this article, the design of RF amplifier system and characteristics of the klystron tube will be discussed.
