  The TRIUMF ISAC 2 superconducting RF system operates on self-excited, phase locking mode. A mechanical tuner is used to minimize the required RF power. The tuner derives the tuning information from the phase shift around the self-excited loop. Its accuracy is however reduced by phase drift in the amplifier due to thermal effects. Cross correlation between the In-phase and the Quadrature-phase errors is used to detect this drift. A Kalman filter is used to combine these information to control the movement of the tuner.
