Description

The presentation starts with an overview of the solutions adopted by different labs around the world to develop LLRF systems driving a X-band power station.
Then, specifications for a user facility linac will be pointed out, especially referring to modern machines designed for plasma acceleration R&D that have demanding requests on amplitude and phase jitter of the accelerating fields.
The last part is focused on the technological challenges and possible synergies to design LLRF modules for a user facility linac from scratch or to upgrade/adapt existing devices to meet such specifications.
