  In the framework of collaboration between the FAIR project, GSI, and CNRS, the IPNO lab is in charge of providing the high power RF components for a cavity test stand and for the planned FAIR proton Linac. This Linac will be connected to the existing GSI synchrotron SIS18 for serving as an injector for the new FAIR facility. The 70 MeV FAIR proton Linac design contains a 3 MeV RFQ, and a DTL based on Cross-bar H-mode cavities (CH). It will operate with pulsed RF at 325.224 MHz with a width of 200 μs and a repetition rate of 4 Hz. The planned RF systems of the proton Linac will be presented as well as the description of the test stand. The first power test results are obtained with a Thales klystron developed jointly with CNRS. Three solid state amplifiers made by Sigmaphi Electronics for the bunchers will also be described in this paper.
