A new technique was developed to increase the efficiency of very high power RF amplifiers (50 MHz to 1.3 GHz) at a freely chosen operating point. This improvement can be achieved for a large range of output power by a remote P1-point control. The choice of the P1-point of an RF amplifier is a compromise between increased efficiency vs. increased harmonics and decreased linearity. Typically,...

Designed as a 4 GeV electron machine, CEBAF was run at 6 GeV. Major upgrades implemented over the past several years increased capabilities to12 GeV. 80 CW RF channels of a new design were added to the existing 340 channels to achieve this energy. As previously reported, a new, higher power klystron design, new HV power supplies, plus new controls and interlocks were required. Deliveries of...
