Description
This contribution describes the preparation and integration of a test RF laboratory dedicated to synchrotron accelerator systems. The laboratory supports testing and validation of an RF chain composed of a Low-Level RF (LLRF) system, an RF resonant cavity, and an RF transmitter supplying power to the cavity. While the synchrotron is already in operation, the laboratory is being developed as an independent environment for component-level tests, system integration, and configuration studies prior to deployment in the machine. The work focuses on hardware integration, network infrastructure, and configuration aspects relevant for stable RF operation. The hardware setup includes the LLRF system, the resonant cavity with tuning and diagnostic elements, and the RF transmitter chain ensuring controlled RF power delivery. Particular attention is given to subsystem interfaces, RF signal routing, and protection mechanisms required for safe laboratory operation. The control software is based on the TANGO framework and provides essential device control, configuration, and monitoring capabilities. As part of the laboratory infrastructure, a dedicated VLAN has been established for the RF system, hosting the TANGO database and enabling isolated and structured configuration of control services. The described setup provides a flexible test environment supporting further development and validation of synchrotron RF systems.
