  The FREIA laboratory is a Facility for REsearch Instrumentation and Accelerator development at Uppsala University, Sweden, constructed recently to test and develop superconducting accelerating cavities and their high power RF sources. FREIA's activity target initially the European Spallation Source (ESS) requirements for testing spoke cavities and RF power stations, typically 400 kW per cavity. Different power stations will be installed at the FREIA laboratory. The first one is based on vacuum tubes and the second on a combination of solid state modules. In this context, we investigate different related aspects, such as power generation and power combination. For the characterization of solid-state amplifier modules in pulsed mode, at ESS specifications, we implemented a Hot S-parameters measurement set-up, allowing in addition the measurement of different parameters, such as gain and efficiency. We developed also a new solid-state amplifier module at 352 MHz, using commercially available LDMOS transistors. Preliminary results show a drain efficiency of 71% at 1300 W pulsed output power.

  The FREIA laboratory is a Facility for REsearch Instrumentation and Accelerator Development at Uppsala University, Sweden constructed recently to develop and test accelerator components. Initially it will develop the RF system for the spoke cavities of the ESS linac and test prototype spoke cavities at nominal RF power. For this purpose we installed a helium liquefaction plant, a versatile horizontal test cryostat and two 352 MHz RF power stations, one based on two tetrodes and the other on solid state technology. Beyond these developments FREIA will house a neutron generator and plans for a THz FEL are under discussion. FREIA is embedded in the Ångström physics, chemistry and engineering campus at Uppsala in close proximity to mechanical workshops, clean room with electron microscopes, tandem accelerator and the biomedical center.
