Abstract The SPARC linac at the INFN Frascati Labs is a high brilliance electron source with a wide scientific program including production of THz and Thomson backscattering radiation, FEL studies and plasma wave acceleration experiments. The linac is based on S-band RF and consists in an RF Gun followed by 3 accelerating structures, while an energy upgrade based on 2 C-band accelerating structures is ready to be implemented. Short bunches are ordinarily produced by using the linear RF bunch compression concept. A harmonic RF structure interposed between the Gun and the 1st accelerating structure can be used to optimize the RF compression by a longitudinal phase space pre-correction, allowing to reach shorter bunches, a much more uniform current distribution and in general to control better the whole compression process. Here we report the results of numerical studies on the SPARC bunch compression optimization through the use of a harmonic cavity, and the design of a C-band RF system to implement it. The proposed system consists in a multi-cell SW cavity powered by a moderate portion of the total RF power spilled from the C-band power plant already installed for the linac energy upgrade.
