The Radiation Instrumentation Research Division of Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute is developing a 2856 MHz dual energy [9, 6 MeV] s-band RF electron linear accelerator for security inspection. The s-band dual energy electron accelerator generates dual x-ray energy by irradiating a bunched electron beam from the cavity to a tungsten target. By detecting an x-ray, the cargo security inspection system can distinguish between organic and inorganic materials. Synchronization of the resonant frequency between the cavity and RF driver is an important factor for the stable operation of an accelerator. With a low RF driver power using the AFC, stable accelerator operations and a uniform output beam power can be obtained. This indicates that an accurate cargo inspection is possible. We used phase a frequency detector that can detect a wide frequency band and synchronize the resonance frequency between the RF driver and cavity. In this paper, we introduce a more advanced AFC system than a conventional AFC system.
