ESS-Bilbao Tuning System•System Overview

The system parts been set up in Imperial College with the signal generator and high power amplifier in the input end and the stepper motor drive, the RFQ tuner on the RFQ could model from the other end.

System performing amplitude, phase and tuning control.

The LLRF system includes three feedback loops to regulate the amplitude and phase of the RFQ field as well as the RFQ resonance frequency.

The equipments worked without modifications apart from optimizing settings of the LLRF parameters using the provided GUI input settings.

ESS-Bilbao Tuning SystemSystem Setup

A laptop with PCI Express port interface would be needed in the current Matlab control terminal.

•The FPGA interface with the laptop might malfunction if any of these requirements is not met:

• Manufacturer: Dell or Hewlett Packard (HP)• Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional• Service Pack 2• Express Card for compact PCI connection
