Description
In the framework of the European XFEL project, hardware, firmware and software has been developed for high-precision RF controls. It is cost optimized for the processing of a large number of superconducting RF cavities operated at frequencies of 1.3GHz or 3.9GHz.
We present here cost and performance optimized MTCA.4 LLRF system architectures dedicated for single NRF/SRF cavity controls covering the frequency band from 500 MHz up to 6 GHz.
Supplementary MTCA.4 modules such as RTM piezo drivers, AMC frequency tuner motors, high-order cavity mode processing AMC and water control units complete the LLRF portfolio and provide a compact, reliable and user-friendly fully MTCA embedded LLRF system of moderate cost and outstanding performance.
