Digital RF Control

In the scope of the project 'digital RF control', several solutions are developed. The most important objectives are the following:

• Cavity synchronization for single-harmonic and double-harmonic operation
• Beam phase control
• Beam gymnastics manipulations (e.g. bunch merging)

Some sub-components (hardware and software) which are being developed to realize the above-mentioned functionality are of interest for other projects and groups as well:

Hardware Solutions

• DSP system for phase detection and closed-loop control
• Microcontroller Board for various purposes

Software Solutions

• Ramp generator software MIL-Ramp
• Mathematica Packages for remote access of measurement equipment
• Timing event decoder software
