Description
The SEL architecture used commonly in CW superconducting linacs is a positive feedback system that requires determining the correct limits for the operating conditions to ensure stable operation. These limits are determined from the results of the amplifier calibration which characterizes the dac drive(forward power) against the cavity field. When the amplifier non-linearity precludes a simple linear fit for this characteristic, its modification to account for the amplifiers non-linearity is essential to operate the system in the SEL architecture. This process is described with test data from a 32kW SSA for the PIP-II linac.
