The invention relates to a radio frequency source for a linear accelerator system, to a linear accelerator system, to a method for operating a radio frequency source and to an associated computer program product. A radio frequency source for a linear accelerator system according to the present invention has: a microwave generator for generating microwaves; an adjusting unit; and a circulator having ferrite for isolating the microwave generator from backscattered microwaves by influencing the phase of the microwaves as a function of a magnetic field, characterized in that the circulator has an electrical phase stabilizing element, wherein the regulating unit is designed to receive a measurement variable describing the magnetic permeability of the circulator and to set the current and/or voltage to the electrical phase-stabilizing element in order to influence the magnetic field on the basis of the received measurement variable in such a way that the magnitude difference between the generated microwave and the
