2010 Sixth CW and High Average Power RF Workshop

The Sixth CW and High Average Power RF Workshop will be held at ALBA, Barcelona, Spain, on May 04 - 07, 2010. The goal of this workshop is to share experiences among designers and users of CW and high average power RF systems that utilize high-power klystrons, gridded tubes, combined solid-state architectures, high-voltage power supplies, high-voltage modulators, high-power combiners, power couplers and tuners. New ideas for high-power RF system upgrades and novel ways of RF power generation and distribution will also be discussed.

The workshop sessions will take place from May 04 till May 07 with a visit of the ALBA facility.

The workshop is held in the Maxwell Auditorium, at ALBA. The registration desk at the entrance of the Auditorium will open on Tuesday morning at 08h30.

Practical Information

Getting to ALBA

ALBA-CELLS facilities are very close to the AP7 (connecting Barcelona with France) and C58 highways. From the Barcelona city center you can reach the site via C58 (Google Maps).

Barcelona International airport is the closest airport to ALBA-CELLS facilities. It is well connected to the Barcelona city train stations (BCN-Sants, BCN-Passeig de Gracia, BCN-Catalunya). Visit the AENA website for more information (or telephone +34 902 404 704).
You can also easily reach Barcelona center by car (take C32-B direction "Barcelona", merge into C31 via the ramp Barcelona/Ronda Litoral and go to Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes) or the ALBA-CELLS site (Google Maps).

Girona-Costa Brava airport is the second option (AENA site). It is mainly operated by low-cost airlines and is one-hour drive by car to Barcelona.

Due to the closest location to Barcelona, the preferred option if you come by train is to arrive to one of the Barcelona main train stations (BCN-Sants or BCN-Estació de França). Both stations are connected to the subway. Renfe (website) is the spanish railway company. It is recommended to buy a ticket to Plaça Catalunya subway station (Plaça Catalunya is also a train connection). Once in Plaça de Catalunya, you have several options:

• Take the line C7 of the RENFE direction Martorell and stop at Cerdanyola del Vallès. Once there, two bus lines connect Cerdanyola del Vallès RENFE station with ALBA-CELLS site (Line A4 Cerdanyola del Vallès-Sant Cugat and Line B7 Cerdanyola del Vallès - Rubí). Bus stop is Sugrañes.
• Follow the FGC (Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya) sign and take the lines , , or and stop at Sant Cugat station. Once there, go to the RENFE Sant Cugat station and take the bus connecting the ALBA-CELLS site.
