10RF Cavity Power Coupler Window
- Current Design
- 2 in SRRF operating at 43kW CW
- 1 repaired fully tested spare
- Manufacture, TiN coating test to 66KW CW at
LBNL - Manufacture 2 more windows of this type for
Booster RF

11Titanium Nitride Coating
TiN Coating System
Coating thickness determined by Rutherford Back
Scattering (RBS) performed on site at LBNL. This
sample measured 15 angstroms. Our target range is
10 20 angstroms.
Advanced Light Source
12Power Test/Condition Window
- B27 Cavity Teststand, 66kW _at_ 500MHz
- Identical cavity to Booster and Storage Ring
- Power Conditioned in 24 Hrs over a 4 day period.
- 21 Rev Pwr Trips
- 5 Vac Trips
- Window Temp ran lt 80C

13RF Feeder/Transmission Line
New system
- All new components are catalog items.
- Existing system is comprised of 3 1/8 EIA coax
line, 3 air dielectric flexible coax line, 6
1/8 75kW circulator, and WR1800.
Advanced Light Source
14Controls Interlock System
- PLCs to be rated Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3
- Leverage existing ModBusTCP interfaces
- Replaces 60 of the installed BRF ILCs
- Re-use existing Low Level RF Controller until
replaced with FPGA based controller - System Controller and Embedded PLCs delivered
programmed for xmtr control - Plan to install transmitter temporarily on ALS
floor for pre-shutdown commissioning and controls
programming.

17Summary
- Final Amplifier/Transmitter Install IOT based
xmtr, pre-shutdown commission and control system
program, more efficient, less repair time. - HVPS Install in new location, no impact to
current operations. Air cooled (minimal fire
protection issues). - Cavity Window Manufacture 2 new windows based
on existing design, Titanium Nitride coat and
test in-house. - RF Feeder/Transmission Line Replace coax line
with 6 1/8, install higher power loads. All
items are readily available commercial items. - Controls Interlock System Replace 60 of
existing BRF ILCs with SIL 3 rated PLC system,
new Xmtr control system. - Utilities There is ample capacity to cover
both the 480 VAC and LCW requirement increases. - Spares IOT, Drive Amp, Window to ensure
operations after the upgrade.
