In order to have an optional RF source for the booster cavity, we have been developing a compact 500MHz – 65kW solid state RF amplifier. An important goal in this development is the optimization of efficiency at any given operating point. In order to achieve this, each RF module has been equipped with its own DC power supply (PS Controller), providing sufficient intelligence to adjust the drain and bias voltages in a fully independent and automatic way. With this technique it is possible to maximize the overall efficiency at any given RF output power. Considerable effort has been made in order to obtain extensive measurements from each individual module with the aim of investigating the behavior of such a large number of combined arrays. We will discuss the amplifier design and present the results of measurements.
