Description

For the European XFEL project, hardware, firmware, and software have been developed for the precision RF control of large number of 1.3GHz superconducting cavities driven by a single 10MW multi-beam klystron. Within the Helmholtz Validation Fund Project two new MTCA.4 rear transision modules have been developed dedicated for low cost, high performance MTCA.4 based single (NC/SRF) cavity LLRF systems. These RTMs covers the frequency band from 5 to 500MHz (DRTM-DS8VM1) and 0.5 to 6GHz (DRTM-DWC8VM1). Furthermore firmware integration and server rework were performed to adapt the multi-cavity architecture for single-cavity LLRF systems. First tests at the normal conducting S-band linac REGAE are performed and will be presented.
