  2. Stability requirements on phase and amplitude for the XFEL • Actual LLRF control system using a switched LO-signal : Amplitude stability : - Rotation of the LO-signal in four 90o steps using a squared LO-Signal. Phase stability : • Bandwidth for transforming the • squared LO-signal : voltage 0.5V/div voltage 2mV/div • Stability requirements of the cavity field vector sum : voltage 0.5V/div time 500us/div time 100ns/div peak-to-peak comparison (normalized to A=1V) time 5us/div ACC5, Probe DCW, AN-36 - 86dB dynamic range of signal-to-noise.

  3. Next LLRF system for optimized detector operation Where comes the noise from and what do we measure after the down-converter ? Microphonics . . . We measure all noise sources of the loop for a finite gain, but not the residual jitter between beam and reference! How can we improve this ? • - Conceptional improvements using noise reduction methods, e.g. filtering and averaging. • Sort the priorities: low noise, low drift, high linearity, absolute accuracy. • Improve each component. • - Minimize residual jitter by increasing or decreasing the loop gain.

  4. Next LLRF system for optimized detector operation Measuring bandwidth : • Proposed LLRF control system operating with a CW LO-signal : Master-Oscillator high-power cavity klystron 1300-81 Jitter transformation : RF-input 1300 down-converter LO-input 1300-81 81=9 x 9 FPGA DAC-clock ADC-clock + Higher harmonics and disturbancies using bandpass filters can be suppressed. + Narrowband filtering the IF-signal reduces distortions from mixer non-linearities. + Averaging reduces ADC-noise and no aliasing effects. + No noise from LO-driver. - Precise synchronization system.

  5. Down-converter limitations from noise and non-linearity • Compromise between noise and linearity : • Active Gilbert-mixers: • Passive Mixer + FET: + High conversion gain + Low LO drive needed + Low LO/RF crosstalk - Normal NF - Additional 1/f-noise • + High linearity • + Low NF • Large LO drive needed • (additional phase noise) • - High LO/RF crosstalk IP3 IP2 Non-linearity Noise floor Dynamic Range (DRout) Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDRout) Noise • Filtering of distortions : Filter Signal distortions : - intermodulation effects (IP3) - higher harmonics (IP2) Signalinformation Multi-channel detector board : - Filtering of distortions - Linearization during beam pauses - Gilbert cell mixer

  6. Actual down-converter • Noise from actual down-converter : LLRF05: G.Möller, [43] Multichannel down-converter board for cavity field detection at the TTF. First mixer stage determines the noise performance. Actual down-converter performance: - - (Switched LO-Signal) (CW-LO-Signal) (Cavity filtered)

  9. LLRF phase noise budget – Residual jitter Beam jitter (simplified) 1st order LP 1st order HP 1st order LP - MO and klystron contributions decreases with gain. The effective noise bandwidth for the down-converter is given by : - Down-converter contributions increases with gain.

  10. Phase noise budget (Switched LO, single cavity) • Phase noise spectra : • Contributions to residual jitter : - Noise is filtered by the cavity. TTF2 (new supply) Measured down-converter noise is larger than residual noise and beam jitter. • The down-converter is not a good • indicator for the residual jitter!

TTF2 (new supply) Measured down-converter noise is larger than residual noise and beam jitter. • The down-converter is not a good • indicator for the residual jitter!

  12. Summary and Outlook • Summary : • The CW-modulation scheme combines many advantages, for example : • - No aliasing effects and ADC-noise reduction. • - Filtering of distortions, which allows a linearization with improved SNR. • For multi-channel systems Gilbert mixers are recommended. • Oversampling promises better SNR than undersampling. • The down-converters noise contribution to the beam jitter • is reduced by the cavity transfer function. - Design a multi-channel board and test within accelerator environment. - Beam jitter caused by LLRF should be measured with fs-resolution. • Outlook : • Decrease mixers noise : • Increase mixer output : • Linearize the down-converters • characteristic within the beam pause. • - Passive front end structures. • Parallel structures of detectors (VLSI prefered). • pHEMT Gilbert mixers (promise higher gain and lower noise). • Additional „Zero-Phase“ detectors.
