Rohde & Schwarz exhibits solutions for particle accelerators at IPAC'23 in Venice

particle accelerators

Particle accelerators are indispensable in much of today's advanced research, in fundamental scientific studies, or in applied disciplines such as materials science or medicine. The fourteenth International Particle Accelerator Conference (IPAC) allows visitors to learn about the latest world news. Rohde & Schwarz presents a complete range of solutions that meet the high-precision requirements of particle accelerators and address the challenges associated with particle elemental research, particle therapy applications, material characterization, precise beam training and monitoring. , and secure storage.

At IPAC'23, which will be held at the Venice Exhibition Center (Italy) between May 7 and 12, Rohde & Schwarz, a company specialized in test and measurement, will present specific solutions for particle accelerators. At booth B7, visitors will be able to see the latest phase noise analyzers, oscilloscopes, high-power amplifiers and transmitters, RF power sensors and power meters for handling high-energy signals and multi-GHz frequencies. Rohde & Schwarz will explain to visitors how the instruments help in fundamental particle research by controlling and protecting research equipment or precisely capturing experimental results.

Christian Dille, Head of the Research & Universities Market Segment at Rohde & Schwarz, explains: "Our range of particle accelerator equipment has been carefully selected and benefits from many years of supporting academic research as the cradle of new knowledge and advanced industries. We are looking forward to welcoming visitors to IPAC'23 and finding out how we can help them get their projects off the ground."

Product highlights on the exhibition stand include the R&S FSWP voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) tester and phase noise analyzer for precision measurements of synthesizers and oscillators. This instrument covers a frequency range from 1 MHz to 500 GHz with external mixers. The extremely high sensitivity and ability to measure pulsed sources make the R&S FSWP the ideal solution for phase noise measurements of ultra-low noise radio frequency (RF) and microwave signal sources, which are vital to the efficient and effective operation of any particle accelerator.

Oscilloscopes for synchrotron applications such as pulsed lasers and continuous beam monitoring will also be on display at stand B7. The R&S RTO6 provides accurate measurements of signal jitter and impulse parameters by acquiring and downloading waveforms to a PC at up to 100 Hz for complete impulse analysis. These functions aid in accelerator physics experiments that often require high-precision measurements of pulse parameters or time jitters between two signals. The shape of the RF pulses must be continuously monitored to prevent damage to an accelerator's klystrons or bipolar magnets.

The R&S NRP family of RF power sensors and power meters is also ideal for a variety of particle accelerator applications, such as precise power measurement of RF system signals, monitoring of accelerator operations and you do, and the tests of power amplifiers. The range covers thermal sensors, medium diode sensors and high bandwidth RF diode sensors. Rohde & Schwarz experts will explain the most suitable power measurement principles for a specific measurement application.

To obtain today's high power RF sources with frequency ranges from 10 kHz to 50 GHz and power requirements in the range of 10 kW to 2 MW, a series of vacuum tubes (tetrodes, klystrons, etc.) are combined. .) with high power VHF/UHF transmitters and amplifiers. Rohde & Schwarz's ranges of high-efficiency broadband transmitters and amplifiers can answer these challenges and address the demand with maximum amplitude and phase stability, minimum phase noise, high energy efficiency, a compact size and a modular design. For example, the rugged R&S THx9 broadcast transmitters only need to be slightly modified for use in particle accelerators.
