The S-band linear accelerator, which was built to be the source of particles
and the front end of the Advanced Photon Source injector, is now also being
used to support a low-energy undulator test line (LEUTL) and to drive a
free-electron laser (FEL). The more severe rf stability requirements of the FEL
have resulted in an effort to identify sources of phase and amplitude
instability and implement corresponding upgrades to the rf generation chain and
the measurement system. Test data and improvements implemented and planned are
