Abstract	In PAL<strong>XFEL [1], the specification of the beam energy spread and rf phase is tighter than PLS Linac. We examined the rf performance in the present PLS 2.5GeV Linac. The beam energy is changed by cooling temperature, air condition, and modulator high voltage jitter. The main factor to change the beam energy is the rf phase drift by environmental conditions. We measured rf phase drift according to the variation of environmental condition and cooling temperature. We reduced the beam energy drift and the rf phase drift in long-term by improvement of cooling and air conditioning control system. Also, rf phase compensation system is needed for stable beam quality. This paper describes the microwave system for the PAL</strong>XFEL the rf phase measurement and phase compensation system.
