A RF system of 500W - 10.75 to 12.75 GHz was designed and integrated into the Advanced Electron Cyclotron Resonance (AECR) ion source of the 88-inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The AECR produces ion beams for the Cyclotron giving large flexibility of ion species and charge states. The broadband frequency of a Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) allows modifying the shape of the annular ellipsoidal-shaped volume that couples and heats the plasma. Details of the RF source and Automatic Gain Control Unit designs for the TWT and integration with the AECR source are provided.
