The setup based on a moderate energy linear accelerator (linac) is proposed to provide users with a tunable, quasi-monochromatic, linearly polarized X-ray beam. The effect of parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) from relativistic electrons in a crystal is used in an X-ray source. The application of the setup for calibration of X-ray space telescopes and other equipment is considered. The setup allows calibration of angular, spectral, polarization parameters of telescopes with smooth tuning of X-ray energy from several keV to hundreds of keV. Estimates of X-ray flux intensities and spectral line widths on the telescope aperture at a distance of several hundred meters are presented. Besides, the PXR-based facility for simultaneous generation of several X-ray beams is proposed.
