This controller is critical to keep phase, amplitude and frequency stability of the RF field in Quarter Wave Resonator (QWR) cavities of the linear accelerator. These cavities work in superconducting condition. The resonance frequency of low beta cavities is 80 MHz, while medium and high beta cavities resonate at 160 MHz. Each RF controller can control at the same time eight different cavities. The RF signals picked-up from the cavities are sampled by RF ADCs. The digitized signals are fed into a field programmable gate array (FPGA) which implements the control loop. The signals processed by the FPGA are in-phase/quadrature modulated and sent to power amplifiers and hence to the cavities. The main feature of the new control system is an all-digital control loop that originates from direct sampling of the antenna RF signal. In-phase and quadrature components are obtained by a suitable choice of the undersampling frequency, while control of the field and phase in the cavity is based on a digital Complex Phase Modulator (CPM). This paper presents the FPGA firmware, the acquisition techniques and the performances of the new RF controller.","PeriodicalId":383702,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE-NPSS Real Time Conference (RT)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127962746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices allow efficient implementation of such solutions. Currently, large scientific facilities are using middleware platforms to simplify systems integration. EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System) is one of the most extended middleware for this purpose. Heterogeneous hardware integration in these middleware is a complex task, and different approaches attempt to standardize. One of these approaches is areaDetector. An open source module for EPICS that is mainly used for image acquisition. areaDetector simplifies integration of heterogeneous image systems, has also been used with some analog signals like quadEM. This paper presents the integration of an acquisition and processing solution in a PXIe platform using FlexRIO technology via a hardware model that solves acquisition and processing in a FPGA and a software model implemented in C++ with the IRIO library (open source solution for RIO devices in the Linux environment) to get to EPICS through areaDetector with analog data.","PeriodicalId":383702,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE-NPSS Real Time Conference (RT)","volume":"285 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116453516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These methods have been implemented in an FPGA (Kintex 7) installed on each ADC board of the data acquisition system (DAQ) of the brain PET insert named MindView to provide the 511 keV photon impinging coordinates in real time. Two different methods have been compared: the commonly used Center of Gravity (CoG) approach and an alternative method named RTP (Raise To the Power) in combination with an estimation of the gamma photons DOI (depth of interaction). The DOI is estimated through the ratio of the energy to the peak maximum intensity of each light distribution. Despite CoG has been implemented with DSPs, performance has been improved with the RTP approach LUT-based, reducing the processing time from 1μ to 640 ns. The achieved time performance including the current development has been measured to be around 640 ns, ensuring the processing of all detected events at high data rates. The obtained results using the FPGA implementation have been compared to data processed off-line after directly transferred the whole raw data to a PC workstation. Here, we compared detector image quality in terms of spatial resolution and DOI capabilities without observing any difference.","PeriodicalId":383702,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE-NPSS Real Time Conference (RT)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122157451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given a tapped delay line constructed with carry chains in an FPGA, it is desirable to find a solution subdividing the intrinsic delay elements further, so that the TDC can achieve a time resolution beyond its cell delay. In this paper, after exploring the available logic resource in Xilinx Kintex UltraScale FPGA, we propose a dual-sampling method to have the TDL status sampled twice. The effect of the new method is equivalent to double the number of taps in the delay line, therefore a significant improvement in time resolution should present. Two TDC channels have been implemented in a Kintex UltraScale FPGA and the effectiveness of the new method is investigated. For fixed time intervals in the range from 0 to 440 ns, the average time resolutions measured by the two TDC channels are respectively 3.9 ps with the dual-sampling method and 5.8 ps by the conventional single-sampling method. In addition, the TDC design maintains advantages of multichannel capability and high measurement throughput in our previous design. Every part of TDC, including dual-sampling, code conversion and on-line calibration could run at 500 MHz clock frequency.","PeriodicalId":383702,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE-NPSS Real Time Conference (RT)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124951512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
