This paper presents the improvements in the ESS Bilbao Proton Ion Source by replacing the amplified radio frequency (RF) pulse of a Klystron-based amplification system using a Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA). This new amplification system is based on a 1kW SSPA (2.7 GHz), a Compact-RIO (cRIO) device, a voltage-controlled RF attenuator and auxiliary electronics. The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) serves as distributed control system (DCS) for controlling and monitoring the data required to achieve a 1.5 ms flat and stable pulse at repetition rate of 14 Hz. The following lines describe the structural and control system changes done in the ion source due to the addition of the SSPA-based amplification system, along with the results of the proton beam extraction tests that demonstrate how this system can serve as a viable substitute for the Klystron-based amplification system.
