LR-BPM User Manual Version 4.0 MODES OF OPERATION FOR VARIOUS BEAMS LR-BPM can be equipped with many options, then further configured by the user to support many modes of operation: Sample & Hold (S&H) Mode Note: Requires Sample&Hold option LR-BPM-SH to be mounted on the printed circuit board.
In addition to the Sample & Hold option described in the preceding chapter, other options are available: Built-in Beam Trigger “LR-BPM-TRG” option Note: Requires Built-in Beam Trigger option LR-BPM-TRG to be mounted on the printed circuit board. Particle polarity LR-BPM version 2.1 operates with positive and negative...
To remove shield: Remove screws (2) from underside LR-BPM modules can be inserted/removed while the power is ON. The LR-BPM module is equipped with many on-board potentiometers to adjust the log amplifiers gain, slope and intercept point. They require precise instruments, tools and procedures for their adjustment.
LR-BPM User Manual Version 4.0 LR-BPM PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The signals from the pickup electrodes are processed simultaneously thru four independent channels. Each channel consists of an input band-pass filter, followed by an amplification chain with logarithmic response. When a single short pulse is applied to the band-pass filter, it will oscillate at its own resonant frequency for about 250 ns, allowing enough time for the logarithmic amplifier to detect the log of its envelope.

10-nC bunch seen by four pickups of 5 pf capacitance and width = 1/8 of circumference. Use 4 similar attenuators, each 3 dB. The same test can be done with 5 and 10 dB. Note: Attenuators are seldom more precise than ±0.1 dB. This will be reflected upon the LR-BPM X and Y zero readings.
LR-BPM User Manual Version 4.0 Auxiliary trigger output Observe the Auxiliary trigger from LR-BPM. This trigger is used for oscilloscope triggering. Input signal from Fast Pulse generator (50 Ω): Output DB9 pin 9 TRG.OUT.AUX (1-MΩ): Trigger TRG.OUT.AUX comes ~13 ns after bunch...
Auxiliary outputs X and Y are available on DB9 pin 1 and pin 2 respectively. XOUT and YOUT Zero Offsets If the signals applied to all four LR-BPM inputs were exactly equal, and if the LR-BPM module were perfect, the values of X and Y would be exactly 0 Volt.

Attenuator C is removed from input C, and added to input A, thus simulating a displacement of the beam towards C (stronger signal on C pickup). LR-BPM modules are factory preset: • For orthogonally placed pickups: up, down, left and right •...
LR-BPM User Manual Version 4.0 Noise measurement X and Y outputs exhibit noise. The following test gives a feel of the noise, without the need for a sophisticated data acquisition system. An oscilloscope takes a single sweep of Xout and Yout. Its timebase is set to display –in a single sweep–...
10-nC bunch seen by four pickups of 5 pf capacitance and width = 1/8 of circumference. Use 4 similar attenuators, each 3 dB. The same test can be done with 5 and 10 dB. Note: Attenuators are seldom more precise than ±0.1 dB. This will be reflected upon the LR-BPM X and Y zero readings.

XOUT or YOUT “Good” X and Y signals ~70n Next, proceed thru the same tests as “QUICK CHECK: LR-BPM in Sample & Hold Mode”: • XOUT and YOUT Zero Offsets • Simulating beam position changes Noise measurement cannot be performed as easily in Track&Hold mode, because the output signal is held only ~70ns.
Amplitude ca. -10 dBm Use 4 similar attenuators, each 3 dB. The same test can be done with 5 and 10 dB. Note: attenuators are seldom more precise than ±0.1 dB. This will be reflected upon the LR-BPM X and Y readings.
Connect to Test Kit or 19” BPM-RFC chassis to AC mains, the DVM (or oscilloscope) will display X and Y values. If the RF signals applied to all four LR-BPM inputs were exactly equal, and if the LR-BPM module were perfect, the values of X and Y would be exactly 0 Volt.

Please note these are displacements. Take the zero offsets due to power splitter imbalance and attenuators inequality into consideration. LR-BPM modules are factory preset: • For orthogonally placed pickups: up, down, left and right • For rotated pickups: upper-right, upper-left, lower-left and lower-right.

LR-BPM User Manual Version 4.0 The above voltages are representations of the algorithms: For Orthogonal pickups: • X = K Log(A/C) • Y = K Log(B/D) For Rotated pickups: • X = K [Log(A/C) – Log(B/D)] cos(β) • Y = K [Log(A/C) + Log(B/D)] sin(β).
Lower-left has 6.5 dB more signal than all others Left pickups have both 6.5 dB more signal than right pickups. This plot is taken with an LR-BPM configured for rotated pickups. In a hypothetical 1-MHz ƒrev synchrotron with 1-cm buttons in 4-cm dia. vacuum chamber...
