LLRF - hardware • Sensors for the incident, reflected and cavity power (Pinc, Prefl, Pprobe) • The required hardware for the isolation and amplification of the RF signals • The required Digital / Analog circuits for regulation, interfacing, ADC, DAC, signal processing, etc. • Drive power amplifier • PIN diode • Master oscillator • Other modules including auxiliary power supplies, PLL, Interlock, etc.

General suggestions for ALBA LLRF • I-Q demodulation is more favourable, because two identical regulators will be used acting on baseband signals with wider phase control range compared to the traditional amplitude-phase loops. • It’s more desirable to use digital electronics which provides more flexibility, possibility of future changes by the software, better diagnostics and higher functionality compared to analog electronics.

Tuner control Cavity RF IQ demodulator I Drive RF Q • Cavity tuner control: • An IQ demodulator detects the phase difference between the drive RF and the actual cavity voltage • The LLRF system drives the phase using the relation Arctan(Q/I) • The LLRF drives the cavity to maintain the desired phase difference
Inputs / Outputs for LLRF controls • Cavity voltage control inputs: • Reference RF • Cavity Voltage • Cavity In-phase setpoint (FB) • Cavity Quadrature setpoint (FB) • IQ regulator gains • Cavity In-phase setpoint (FF) • Cavity Quadrature setpoint (FF) • Rotation matrix parameters • Cavity tuner control inputs: • Cavity voltage • Derive RF • Cavity tuner control outputs: • Cavity tuning In-phase (I) • Cavity tuning Quadrature (Q) Electrical and performance specifications of the Input / Output signals still have to be defined. • Cavity voltage control outputs: • Power amplifier drive • Cavity voltage In-phase monitor • Cavity voltage Quadrature monitor
The first step – IQ demodulator • We’ll need it with both Digital and Analog Reg. • Detailed design is available • Comparably easy to build • Can be tested with a function generator
The next steps I-Q demodulator (AD8348 from Analog Devices) - Can be designed and made at CELLS - Test with a function generator Other parts of the “Analog module” ADC, DAC and processor boards (“Digital Module”) - Off the shelf, but still need programming - will be done in collaboration with the Control Group 4. Test with simulated system Interfacing with the control system and GUI - Will be done mainly by the Control Group 6. Commissioning and trouble-shooting
