704 MHz RF platform (CEA)
The 704 MHz Radio Frequency (RF) platform is equipped with two pulsed klystrons, with peak powers of 1.1 MW (55 kW on average) and 1.5 MW (75 kW on average), with pulse durations ranging from 10 to 3600 µs, a repetition rate ranging from 1 to 50 Hz and a duty cycle of 5%.
High power RF laboratory (CIEMAT)
The CIEMAT High Power Radiofrequency Laboratory (HPRF Lab) is used for the characterization, measurement, and high-power validation tests of different prototypes and RF components. Apart from basic RF and microwave laboratory test instrumentation and measurement equipment, a high-power RF source is available, which is composed of the following parts:
- RF module: 200 kW CW @175 MHz RF tetrode-based amplifier + fully digital LLRF,
- High Voltage Power Supply,
- Test bench for RF couplers conditioning,
- Auxiliary RF components.
