  1. Design and Implementation of a wide band RF Phase Detector enhanced with signal monitoring capabilities Research project report presentation as a part of the Summer Internship in Science and Technology (SIST) By Souma Badombena-Wanta Supervised by: Rene Padilla Accelerator Division/ RF Section

  2. Introduction The RF Section in the Accelerator Division of Fermilab plays a very important role, as it provides RF power and monitoring for particle acceleration through the RF system. The ultimate goal of the RF system is providing power to be transferred to the beam to increase its energy. Such a procedure involves a set of different tasks performed such as providing the RF frequency used for acceleration, as well as taking care of the proper phasing of this RF so that it is in time with the beam.

  3. Project overview The project involved the prototyping of a PCB(Printed Circuit Board) for the Wide Band Phase Detector following design specifications and an implementation strategy in order to meet different requirements and come up with a new and improved design. Additional tasks have been performed to assemble and enclose the module.

  4. Brief outline • Overview of the RF cavity tuning system • General system description • Definition and mode of operation of a phase detector • Implementation strategy and experimental details • Results and discussion

  7. How Phase Detectors works? • A phase detector is basically a frequency mixer or analog multiplier that generates a voltage signal which represents the difference in phase between two input signals. • The basic concept upon which phase detection rests is that the application of two identical frequency, constant amplitude signals to a mixer, results in a dc output which is proportional to the phase difference between the two signals

  8. Theory of Operation Typical Double-Balanced Mixer Processing at the RF Frequency

  9. Block Diagram of the Phase Detector

  10. Main signal processing components • Mixers • Power splitters • Log-Amps Different signal paths • From RF1/RF2 IN to Phase Detector out • From RF1 IN to RF1 monitor • From RF2 IN to RF2 monitor • From RF1 IN to RF1 Freq. to Voltage Out • From RF2 IN to RF2 Freq. to Voltage Out

  11. Implementation strategy and experimental details: • Design Specifications(regarding enhanced design): • Phase detector output: 20Vp-p • Frequency-to-Voltage converter: linear response describing a voltage as a function of frequency with a slope of 0.1 V/MHz. • Output envelope detector: 1Vp-p with input of 1Vp-p @ 53Mhz • RF Monitor outputs terminated in 50ohms • Power supply voltages: +5V, +15V, -15V

  12. Design highlights • Designing the phase detector part of the circuit mainly involved selection of adequate op-amp and potentiometers in order to get exactly the value of 20Vp-p. • The frequency-to-voltage converter design was accomplished more importantly by scaling the voltage coming out from the PLP-10.7. • In order to get a good envelope detector signal, we investigated the properties for the Vlog signal, that we fed into an OPA627 and used appropriate potentiometers to trim out offset voltages.

  14. Experimental results and discussion • Upon designing and laying down the circuits on the board, we performed a series of tests that allowed us to verify the operation of the circuits and judge or assess the accuracy of the results in comparison with the expected ones. • Preliminary tests and measurements were performed in the RF lab, then in RF Booster system where the device was temporarily incorporated in the system and operated.

  22. Conclusion Overall, this design proved to be successful as we have been able to generate optimal expected results. However, minor adjustements has to be brought to design, such as perfecting the output signal but triming out offsets and getting rid of major noise signals.
