Description

In the Shenzhen Superconducting Soft X-ray Free Electron Laser (S3FEL), Continuous Wave (CW) Low-Level Radio Frequency (LLRF) systems perform critical functions including adjusting the power coupling of accelerator cavities, regulating the amplitude and phase of the RF field, and maintaining the resonance frequency and phase of the cavities. These functions are essential to ensure the electron beam operates at the accelerating phase. Within S3FEL, each superconducting cavity is driven by a solid-state amplifier (SSA), with each SSA paired with a dedicated LLRF system. Based on the distinct acceleration cavities employed, the CW LLRF systems for S3FEL are categorized into four types: 1. Primary accelerator LLRF systems (superconducting, 1.3 GHz; quantity: 168), 2. Harmonic cavity LLRF systems (superconducting, 3.9 GHz; quantity: 16), 3. VHF electron gun LLRF systems (room temperature, 216 MHz; quantity: 4), 4. Buncher LLRF systems (room temperature, 1.3 GHz; quantity: 2). These four LLRF system categories exhibit differing requirements for RF field and acceleration cavity control. This report presents the preliminary design schemes for these four types of CW LLRF systems.
