Cryoelectra Delivers 130 kW Solid-State RF Systems for Elettra Upgrade (Elettra 2.0 Milestone)

Oct 5, 2023 | News

Cryoelectra GmbH has successfully delivered RF power amplifiers for the upgrade of the Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste facility.

As part of the “Solid State at Elettra” project, the existing klystron-based systems have been fully replaced with modern solid-state RF amplifiers, marking a key milestone towards Elettra 2.0.

Technical Highlights

  • Up to 130 kW output power per system
  • High availability through redundant design
  • Proven reliability with 14,000+ operating hours

The installation and integration were carried out in close collaboration with Elettra’s RF team and completed ahead of the planned 2025 schedule, while maintaining full system availability throughout.

This project highlights Cryoelectra’s expertise in delivering high-performance RF solutions for next-generation particle accelerators.
