Outline • Introductive notes • Limitations of the standard Fourier analysis in the presence of analog bucking • Proposals: • Quadrature demodulation-based method • Extrapolation-based method • Performance comparison in simulated conditions • Results in actual experiments • Conclusions 14th International Magnetic Measurement Workshop26-29 September 2005, Geneva, Switzerland
Introduction • In superconducting magnets, dynamic effects like snapback can be estimated only through measurements in ramping conditions. • Due to current variation, field harmonics are both time and ramp rate dependent (e.g. decay phenomena). • The conventional Fourier analysis does not work properly. Being addressed to DC measurements, it assumes field harmonics to be constant during a coil turn. 14th International Magnetic Measurement Workshop26-29 September 2005, Geneva, Switzerland
Introduction • Increasing coil speed is often impracticable, and it could prove unsuccessful in the presence of high ramp rates of the current. • To measure varying magnetic fields through a rotating coils system, two new digital signal-processing methods are proposed. • They both assume continuous coil rotation. 14th International Magnetic Measurement Workshop26-29 September 2005, Geneva, Switzerland

Proposal 2: experimental results • Some measurements have been carried out on a reference, resistive magnetic dipole. • Continuous coil rotation has been assured. • Coil speed has been equal to 1 turn/s. • Different ramp rates have been considered: 5A/s, 10A/s, 20A/s. 14th International Magnetic Measurement Workshop26-29 September 2005, Geneva, Switzerland
Proposal 2: experimental results • As expected for the reference magnet measured, the first results seem to highlight that harmonic coefficients are independent of ramp rate. 14th International Magnetic Measurement Workshop26-29 September 2005, Geneva, Switzerland
Comparison • The evolution versus time of harmonic coefficients gained from proposal 2 result smoother than those from proposal 1. Blue trace: proposal 1 Black trace: proposal 2 14th International Magnetic Measurement Workshop26-29 September 2005, Geneva, Switzerland
Conclusions • Characterization of the standard Fourier analysis when applied to compensated magnetic fluxes in non-stationary conditions. • A quadrature demodulation-based method for a reliable digital bucking has been proposed (proposal 1). • Harmonic coefficients are gained from the application of the standard Fourier analysis to digitally compensated flux samples. • An alternative method that extrapolates, for a given time instant, the flux value for each angular position in a coil turn has also been presented (proposal 2). 14th International Magnetic Measurement Workshop26-29 September 2005, Geneva, Switzerland
Conclusions • Many tests in simulated dynamic conditions have been carried out to assess and compare the performance of the proposed methods. • Proposal 1 allows more accurate estimate of harmonic coefficients, but B1, than that granted by standard Fourier analysis. • Proposal 2 performs much better even in the presence of high ramp rates. • The reduced computational burden of proposal 2 make real-time tracking of harmonic coefficients feasible. • The first results obtained in actual experiments seem to confirm the reliability of proposal 2. 14th International Magnetic Measurement Workshop26-29 September 2005, Geneva, Switzerland
