Log-ratio beam position monitoring at 425 MHz

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7278591

A logarithmic-ratio beam position monitoring circuit has been designed, based on a monolithic logarithmic-amplifier integrated circuit that provides 70 dB of gain over the 100-MHz to 500-MHz frequency range. Log-ratio circuits previously reported operate at frequencies below 100 MHz (1, 2, 3). Operation at higher accelerator bunching frequencies previously required down-conversion to an intermediate frequency in the 20 to 100 MHz range. This new circuit offers the possibility of position measurement without down conversion.
