abstract = {{System availability and reliability are key for particle accelerator facilities. The risk of downtime is directly correlated to the performance of crucial components, e.g the RF technology. Therefore, measures are required for avoiding any unwanted system failure. One of our approaches to drastically improve the MTBF of our Solid State Power Amplifier is providing different levels of redundancy of crucial and critical components. Here we want to present the influence of different redundancy levels on the MTBF of Solid State Power Amplifier Systems by increasing the number of transistors and power supplies in a modular design. By this design we can provide customized solutions meeting the individual demand on reliability for particle accelerators. Since the to be expected MTBF of RF amplifier is usually not correlated to redundancy levels we try to follow an approach by reaching different values of the predicted MTBF by adapting the number of transistors used.}},
