基于时分复用的多通道束流信号调理前端研制

Development of Multi-Channel Beam Signal Conditioning Front-end Based on Time-Division Multiplexing

  • 摘要: 中国超重元素专用加速器装置(China Accelerator Facility for Superheavy Elements, CAFE2)现有的束流位置测量(Beam Position Monitor, BPM)读出电子学成本高昂、复用率低,难以满足CAFE2对BPM探头数量的需求,同时也难以满足其低流强重离子束流的测量需求。针对这一现状,研制了一款支持在线配置、可实现多通道时分复用、增益和滤波频率可调的高速射频开关阵列。该开关阵列作为射频信号调理前端,与自研的高速束流信号采集后端电子学共同构成一套全新的适用于CAFE2的BPM读出电子学,可在不同流强和工作频率下实现多路束流信号的时分复用测量。实验室测试结果表明,高速射频开关阵列支持微秒量级的高速切换,具备4种中心频率的带通滤波和大于60 dB的可调增益范围,各项性能指标均达到设计需求,满足CAFE2 BPM系统的升级改造。

     

    Abstract: The construction of the China Accelerator Facility for Superheavy Elements (CAFE2) is advancing based on the Chinese ADS Front-end Demo Linac (CAFe) developed by Institute of Modern Physics. However, the original Beam Position Monitor (BPM) read-out electronics could not meet the requirements of the CAFe2 BPM probes in terms of quantity and the measurement demands of low-intensity heavy ion beams. In response to this challenge, a high-speed RF switch array supporting multi-channel multiplexing, adjustable gain and filtering, and web parameter configuration for different conditions was developed. This array functions as the RF signal conditioning front-end, in combination with the existing RF front-end and digital signal processing platform, constitutes a new BPM read-out electronics system optimized for CAFE2. It enables time-division multiplexed measurement of multiple beam signals across varying beam intensities and operating frequencies. Laboratory test results demonstrate that the high-speed RF switch array supports microsecond-scale switching, provides bandpass filtering with four selectable center frequencies, and offers an adjustable gain range exceeding 60 dB. The superior performance of the switch array-based readout electronics ensures reliable operation and robust support for the BPM system at CAFE2.
