Abstract In the framework of LATINO project (Laboratory in Advanced Technologies for INnOvation) funded by Lazio regional government, a TEst stand for X-band (TEX) is being commissioned at Frascati National Laboratories (LNF) of INFN. TEX is born as a collaboration with CERN, aimed at carrying out high power tests of X-band accelerating structure prototypes and waveguide components, and it is of paramount importance in view of the construction of EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB facility at LNF. In order to generate, manipulate and measure the RF pulses needed to feed the RF power unit (solid state ScandiNova K400 modulator, CPI 50 MW 50 Hz klystron) an X-band low level RF system has been developed, making use of a commercial S-band (2.856 GHz) Libera digital LLRF (manufactured by Instrumentation Technologies) with a newly designed up/down conversion stage and a reference generation/distribution system, which is able to produce coherent reference frequencies for the American S-band (2.856 GHz) and European X-band (11.994 GHz). In this paper the main features of such systems will be reviewed together with preliminary laboratory measurement results.
