Libera Pilot Tone FE
Product Description
Libera Pilot Tone FE general description:
Beam current dependency, thermal drifts of the electronics and variations in cables caused by changes in temperature and humidity affect the accuracy of the BPM system. The Libera Pilot Tone FE is installed in the tunnel and connected between the BPM pickup and BPM electronics. It combines the RF BPM signals with a pilot tone signal that is slightly offset to the RF. Both signals pass though the RF cables to the BPM electronics and are exposed to the same disturbances. The BPM electronics ( Libera Spark ERPT) process both signals independently in the frequency domain. A digital algorithm compensates the RF BPM signal based on information from the pilot tone in real time.
Benefits:
● Enhanced long-term stability for beam-position monitors
● Cable drift compensation
● Capable to measure single bunch fill pattern through a
SAW filter
● Clean turn-by-turn data without artificial artifacts
● Remote control and power over PoE
