Low Level RF • Outline • Scope • Local feedback loop requirements • Solutions • Costs • How this fits into global feedback • Other signals • Conclusions
Scope • The low level RF controls system consists of RF phase and amplitude controls at these locations: • Laser • Gun • L0-A (a.k.a. L0-1) • L0-B (a.k.a. L0-2) • L0 Transverse cavity • L1-S • L1-X • L2 – using 2 klystrons to control avg phase/ampl of L2 • L3 Transverse cavity • L3 - here is a bit different (lots of klystrons!)
Local feedback loop requirements • At each of these locations, the klystron’s phase and amplitude will be controlled • Inputs are listed in Appendix A • Example inputs (for the gun) are: • Cell 1 RF monitor. ½” heliax. Phas/ampl 5us 120 Hz • Cell 2 RF monitor ½” heliax. Phas/ampl 5us 120 Hz • RF in FOR. ½” heliax. Phas/ampl 5us 120 Hz
Off-the-shelf solution • Test/measure digitizer performance: when clock increases from 105 MHz to 119 MHz, are bits lost? • Talking to vendors re: arbitrary function generator (ensure noise < 0.1% ) for pulse shaping with carrier board • Define interface to PAD • Adapt available driver and device support for digitizer to RTEMS
In-house solution: alternate choice • Requires development of FPGA-based board with ethernet • On-board processing capability for local feedback • Places the digitizers next to the low noise RF components (eliminates transmission of low noise analog signals outside the chassis)
Costs • In operation, 9 instances of • VME chassis: 6000 € • PowerPC: 5000 USD • Fast digitizer: 5000 USD • Fast DAC module in carrier board: $unknown • Additional digitizer for waveforms: ~3000K • Analog module for temperatures: ~2000K And 1 instance (of same) for testing/spares • At L3, 1 instance of • VME chassis: 6000 € • PowerPC: 5000 USD • Additional digitizer for waveforms: ~3000K • Analog module for temperatures: ~2000K
Other signals – (listed in Appendix A) • Control signals • This is the feedback’s calculated new phase/amplitude • Need pulse shaping • Pulse shaping would be entered manually • Don’t know where yet • Very low processing load
Conclusions • By using multiple VME chassis (10 over injector, sectors 24 & 30), the LCLS LLRF raw signals can be processed by the CPU in time to send out phase and amplitude corrections and have them settle within a beam pulse. • When there is beam, this system will integrate with the beam-based longitudinal feedback by accepting the latter’s RF phase and amplitude corrections and passing them on.
