Abstract A linear accelerator including several klystron driver RF stations can be viewed as a single virtual RF station with a certain accelerating RF voltage (in amplitude and phase). This paper develops an optimization scheme that, for a specified beam energy gain, determines the klystrons output powers and the modulators high voltages optimally. The algorithm employs the klystron nonlinear static characteristics curves to calculate the input RF amplitude of the drive chain.
