Oral presentation
The RF system of the Pohang Light Source-II (PLS-II) storage ring is operating at the 3.0 GeV/300 mA with three superconducting RF (SRF) cavities. PLS-II RF system was upgraded to 3.0 GeV/400 mA(max.) beam storage from 2.5 GeV/ 200mA of PLS. Each high power RF (HPRF) station is composed of a 300 kW klystron with power supply unit, transmission components including a 350 kW circulator and load,...

Oral presentation
Tubes remain the most effective solution for 200 MHz Final Power Amplifier (FPA) design. An overview of design and manufacturing considerations of a 201.25 MHz FPA, built to Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANCE) specifications, will be presented. Precision manufacturing and assembly of amplifier components is critical for optimizing performance of advanced tube design, such as the Thales...

Oral presentation
RF accelerator electrical energy consumption at the U.S. DOE laboratories was 1 TW-hr in FY2012, and is projected to rise to 1.5 TW-hr by 2018. A major fraction of this energy is used to produce RF power (e.g. this fraction is >50% at SLAC, which is ~40% of the total site energy usage). Although it has long been recognized that improving the efficiency of RF sources would improve...
