Beam Position Monitoring system

Our digital beam position monitoring system (BPM) based on uTCA technology provides an accurate measure of the beam position in the XY plane defined by the section of the accelerating cavities. It plays a crucial role in the commissioning and operation of the cavities that compose any particle accelerator.

  • Continuous and pulsed measuring of the position, phase, current.
  • Measures at the fundamental and the first harmonic.
  • High precision measures in the range from -75dBm to 5dBm.
  • Programmable analog attenuation stage for signal level conditioning prior to digitalization.
  • Configurable averaging level in two stages to smooth the measures.
  • Generation of alarms in position, phase and current (configurable thresholds).
  • Real time display capabilities.
  • Electronic and cables autocalibration capabilities.
  • EPICS/TANGO control system support and easy user interface.
  • Compatible with White-Rabbit and IEEE-1588 protocols.
Up to 2 BPM channels 4 x RF inputs per channel.
Up to 4 analog outputs 0 to 10V.
One Frequency Reference input.
7 configurable input/outputs TTL connectors.
8 configurable input/outputs M-LVDS lanes through the backplane.
It can be mounted on two different configurations according to user needs Fits into a stand-alone 19 inch rack, Fits into a 19 inch rack using 2U, height and integrated into a uTCA backplane.
