With the expansion of the radiation source ELBE, a centre for high power radiation sources is being built until 2014 at the Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf. One part of this program is to double the beam current of the ELBE LINAC. In January 2012 each of the 10 kW CW klystrons, used to operate the superconducting cavities of ELBE since 2001, had been replaced by a pair of 10 kW solid state amplifiers. The paper gives an overview on the activities around this project and the first experience with the new RF-system.

Keywords: ELBE RF; 1.3 GHz Solid State Power Amplifier; 10kW, 1.3 GHz SSPA; LDMOS PA 10kW at 1300MHz; ELBE RF Upgrade; BRUKER SSPA 10kW at 1300MHz
