RF coupling impedance measurements versus simulations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bench measurements nowadays represent an important tool to estimate the coupling impedance of any particle accelerator device. The well-known technique based on the coaxial wire method allows to excite in the device under test a field similar to the one generated by an ultra-relativistic point charge. Nevertheless the measured impedance of the device needs comparisons to numerical simulations and, when available, theoretical results.We discuss the basics of the coaxial wire method and report the formulae widely used to convert measured scattering parameters to longitudinal and transverse impedance data. We discuss typical measurement examples of interest for the LHC. In case of resonant structures, impedance measurements and comparison with simulations become easier. The bead-pull technique may be used in this case.

Storage Ring Isolation Valve
The RF impedance of the sector isolation valve of the APS storage ring system was measured by the wire method with a synthetic pulse technique [1]. The coupling impedance as well as the energy loss of the isolation valve with and without an RF liner or screen, and the flange gap of the various sizes was calculated from the measurements. There appear to be resonances at certain frequencies in th...
متن کاملBunch Length and Impedance Measurements at Spear3
Streak camera measurements were made at SPEAR3 to characterize longitudinal coupling impedance. For the nominal optics, data was taken at three rf voltages and a single-bunch current range of 0-20mA. Both bunchcentroid phase shift and bunch lengthening were recorded to extract values for resistive and reactive impedance. An (R+L) and a Q=1 model were then back-substituted into the Haissinski eq...
متن کاملElectromagnetic, complex image model of a large area RF resonant antenna as inductive plasma source
A large area antenna generates a plasma by both inductive and capacitive coupling; it is an electromagnetically coupled plasma source. In this work, experiments on a large area planar RF antenna source are interpreted in terms of a multi-conductor transmission line coupled to the plasma. This electromagnetic treatment includes mutual inductive coupling using the complex image method, and capaci...

In Ultra high-field MRI scanners (3T and higher), parallel RF transmission techniques using multiple RF chains with multiple transmit elements are a promising approach to overcome the high-field MRI challenges in terms of inhomogeneity in the RF magnetic field and SAR. However, mutual coupling between the transmit array elements disturbs the desirable independent control of the RF waveforms for...
