Description
The APS 352MHz radio frequency test stand (RFTS) was constructed in 2002 primarily to test and condition storage ring and booster rf cavity components. Since the rf test stand’s inception, modifications have been made to increase the RFTS’s testing capabilities. These modifications include: the installation of a solid state switch / mod-anode regulator, a high-voltage switch tank, access to the klystron garage, and addition of waveguide components to connect a klystron under test to a 1-MW rf load. These recent improvements and the overall performance of the RFTS will be discussed.
