Architecture of LLRF Phase Reference Line

Slide 8

• Single Main Phase Reference Line (MPRL) is used to distribute 2856 MHz reference

• Use 1-5/8 inch rigid coax cable as MPRL for low attenuation and acceptable drifts

• MPRL will be routed in the Linac tunnel for better temperature stabilities

• Reference signal is coupled out at each sector, amplified and fed into the existing Phase Reference Line of the sector. Sub-booster takes the reference and generates power to the Sub Drive Line

• All klystrons of the LCLS-II Linac will be synchronized by the same phase reference• The design provides an easy way for phase changes of sectors

Design of LLRF Phase Reference Line

Slide 9

• Low Risk - 1-5/8 inch rigid coax cable has been used in sector PRL and the 2830.5 MHz distribution of LCLS, no failure observed from LCLS

Drifts of LCLS Phase Reference Line

Slide 10

• Cable drifts respect to beam from S20 to S24 (~ 400m)

• Temperature coefficient about 1.5 deg@2856 MHz / 100m / degF

1-5/8 inch rigid coax cable driftAttenuation: 0.033 dB/m @ 2856 MHz

Linac tunnel temperature drifts at Sector 22 and 25

Drifts of LCLS Phase Reference Line (cont.)

Slide 11

Drifts Estimation of LCLS-II Phase Reference Line

Slide 12

• Portions of cable in klystron gallery suppose to have ~5deg@2856 MHz drift with temperature change of 25 degF

• Maximum drift (RF station at the end of Linac) estimated > 20 deg @ 2856 MHz daily

Architecture of Sector Phase Control

Slide 13

• Green boxes and lines are new from LLRF

• Local LO and Clock generation

• A PAC chassis is used to control the phase of entire sector

• Two PADs chassis are used to measure RF signals including replacing the head-tail phase monitor

• Will be implemented for Sector 11 to 20

Architecture of Control of Sector 14 and15

Slide 14

• Green boxes and lines are new from LLRF

• Controls of station 14-1, 14-2 and 14-3 are combined with the Sector 14 control to share the LO and Clock generator

• Control of station 14-8 and measurement of PH03 are combined with the Sector 15 control

• Critical cables (ACCin and ACCout) are routed in the tunnel which has a temperature stability of about 1 degF. Phase drift < 0.5 deg@2856 MHz for the longest cables of 14-3

• Diagnostic cables (Klystron Drive, Klystron Beam V and Klystron Out) routed in klystron gallery

Design of PAD (Phase & Amplitude Detector)

Slide 15

• Use the same PAD design for LCLS-II Injector LLRF System - Needs 28 chassis (20 for Sub-boosters and 8 for klystrons)

• Low Risk - LCLS has had 1 PAD chassis failure (infant mortality) since it began operations. NLCTA and KTL have also used similar PAD designs

• ADCs: 69dB SNR

Design of PAC (Phase & Amplitude Controller)

Slide 16

• Use the same PAC design for LCLS-II Injector LLRF System - Needs 14 chassis (10 for Sub-boosters and 4 for klystrons)

• Low Risk - LCLS has had 0 PAC chassis failures since it began operations. NLCTA and KTL have also used similar PAC designs

• Devices using the PAC achieve 0.03 degrees RMS jitter

Design of SSSB (Solid State Sub-booster)

Slide 17

• Use the same SSSB design for LCLS - Needs 4 chassis• Low Risk - 9 of these units have been running since LCLS started

operation without a failure

Design of LO and Clock Generator

Slide 18

• Use the same design for LCLS-II Injector LLRF System - Needs 10 chassis for all sectors• Low Risk – Simplified LO generation scheme which will be more robust. The new LO

generator has been successfully used in LLRF AIP and no failures observed up to now

Safety

Slide 19

• Hazards Non Ionizing Radiation

• The NIRS system modifications for LCLS are included here– This is the Summing chassis that takes an input from the LCLS-II Vacuum PLC and gives an

input to the MKSU.• Up to the 5045 klystron the highest average power level in the RF system is 2W at the output

of the main RF and LO distribution amplifiers.• Get the system reviewed by the NIRSC.

Other electrical• The LLRF chassis are powered by 110VAC and all chassis are EEIPed.

• Safety Systems BCS

• The BCS interface will be a duplicate of LCLS 1– This ties into the Solid State Sub-Boosters– A modification should be make to go from twinax to coax to reduce noise

PPS – covered in modulator presentation• The PPS interface to modulators will allow access to the injector vault while running the linac• This involves a PPS interface to be installed on the modulator and is discussed in the

modulator presentation.

BCS and PPS reviews will be conducted by the BCS and PPS groups

Lessons Learnt from LCLS

• LCLS has a complex phase reference system which makes difficulties in machine operation

Problems with L2 phase adjustment. L2 phase is adjusted with the SPAC inserted in the reference line. The phase of the entire reference line will be changed when adjusting L2 phase. This brings phase uncertainties to the reference signal used to synchronize the LCLS experiments

Difficult to change L3 phase. The MDL SPAC must be adjusted to change the L3 phase. It will change the phase of the entire machine including L2 and Timing System reference, causing L2 phase requiring re-adjustment and timing jumps

• Poor diagnostics makes it difficult for trouble shootings

No fast phase measurement of phase reference line at each sector

No fast phase measurement of feedback klystrons for L2 energy feedback

Slide 22

Summary

• The design of phase reference line is quite different from the design for LCLS. The new design addresses the lessons learnt from LCLS operation

• Sub-booster control improves the machine level operability More actuation freedom for feedback control Clean phase adjustment for L2 or L3

• Diagnostics of Sector control and individual klystron control improves the measurability and visibility of the machine
