Test results of the SSC log-ratio beam position monitor electronics

Abstract

A working prototype of beam position monitor (BPM) electronics, based on the log-ratio technique is described in this paper. Results of a test performed at the Fermilab Booster, comparing the existing Fermilab BPM system are also presented. A calibration technique has been used which corrects errors due to mismatched channels and electronics drift. The results are compared with bench measurements on the prototype circuit.<>
