Description

The Low-Level Radio Frequency (LLRF) system is a critical component in the control infrastructure of any synchrotron, responsible for generating and maintaining a stable electric field within the accelerator cavities by precisely controlling both amplitude and phase.

Safran Electronic & Defense Spain S.L.U. is currently engaged in the development of a new digital LLRF system to upgrade the existing infrastructure at the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source in Barcelona. This project is being executed in accordance with ALBA's technical specifications and will integrate with the ALBA LLRF firmware. On-site testing of the 500 MHz version is anticipated by end of 2024, with the 1.5 GHz third harmonic version scheduled for testing in the first quarter of 2025.

This work will cover the architecture, design, development, and performance evaluation of the LLRF system.
