Title: BPM button characterization for offset calibration

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/87850· OSTI ID:87850

In this note, a basic theory of wave propagation in dielectric media is discussed in conjunction with S parameters to derive the button gain coefficient g{sub e} and an analytic expression for the signal from time domain reflectometry (TDR) measurement on a cable and a button. The results can be used to measure the button capacitance and the characteristic impedances of the cable and the button feedthrough. Since g{sub e} is a function of S parameters and the button capacitance C{sub p}, a suggestion is made to make the gain coefficients the same for all four buttons in a BPM by carefully matching the buttons and the cables.
