Description

A RFT-30 cyclotron can be used for various applications such as radioisotope production and fundamental research. A low level radio frequency (LLRF) system adjusts the parameters for stable operation of the radio frequency (RF) system. It is important for the LLRF system to maintain a stable resonance condition during its operation. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy-based LLRF control for the RFT-30 cyclotron. The proposed approach stabilizes the resonance condition by moving the fine tuner based on a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). Performance results show that the FLC approach maintains a stable resonance condition for the RF system.
