Developing a new beam position monitor electronics for HIPA, The PSI High Intensity Proton Accelerator
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The High Intensity Proton Accelerator (HIPA) at PSI presently has an RF beam position monitor (BPM) system based on 20 year old Xilinx Virtex-2 Pro Systems-on-Chip (SoC), using application-specific integrated circuits (ASICS) for direct digital downconverters. For the planned upgrade of the electronics as well as for new HIPA projects, we started the development of a new HIPA BPM electronics, using a generic electronics platform called "DBPM3" that is already being used for SwissFEL and SLS 2.0 electron BPM systems. In this contribution, first test results of a DBPM3-based HIPA BPM electronics prototype are presented, including a comparison with the present electronics.
