Performance analysis of the RF analog frontend for Diamond–II electron beam position monitors

Diamond-II is a major upgrade to the current synchrotron facility, Diamond Light Source. The low emittance electron beam requires more stable, low drift beam position mon- itor electronics which are also essential for the Fast Orbit Feedback system. This paper presents simulated results of the analog frontend for the electron beam position monitors. This work aims to deliver an analog frontend with stable gain and high linearity that meets the dynamic range and noise figure requirements effectively to capture beam positions for single and multi-bunch operation. Performance evaluations have been conducted using the SystemVue simulation suite.
