jitter and phasenoise devices simulation
DESCRIPTION
Jitter and Phasenoise Devices simulation. Jitter is a measurement of the variations in the time domain, and essentially describes how far the signal period has wandered from its ideal value. Typically, deviations below 10 MHz are not classified as jitter, but as wander or drift. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
Jitter is a measurement of the variations in the time domain, and essentiallydescribes how far the signal period has wandered from its ideal value.Typically, deviations below 10 MHz are not classified as jitter, but as wanderor drift.
Phase noise is a frequency-domain view of the noise spectrum around the oscillator signal, while jitter is a timedomain measure of the timing accuracy of the oscillator period
Problem: There exist many similar definitions – same word describes different things!
Absolute jitter: It is given by the sum of each periods variation from the averagePeriod jitter:simply measures the period of each clock cycle in the waveform
Cycle-to-cycle jitter: This is the jitter definition that most people mean when they talk about jitter as a single number. It measures the variance of each period to the average period:
Translating between phasenoise and jitter
The total noise power of the sidebands can be determined by integrating the L(f) function over the band of interest - in this case, 12 KHz to 10 MHz. This might be for example be the case if low frequency noise= ”‘slow”’drifts are not of importance.
What are our frequency - boundaries?
TTC (Timing, Trigger and Control) is only the delivery system: Info about timing to beam?
1) Remo Maccaferri
– has specs, thinking of avalache devices (as far as I know) advantage: high current, fast switching, disadvantage: lifetime, fuzzy status, problematic to turn off
2) M. Paoluzzi
- no avalanche devices (fuzzy state, but knows he is no expert on them)
- he thinks its possible to meet the specs with:
Transitor:polyfet rf devices - F1401
Gatedriver: IXYS- IXDD415SI
-spice models avaiable, to be tested.
Simulations: SPS – DA as function of beam-wire distance - which law?
The simulated dependance on the beam-wire distance is fitted by y = a*x^b + c, where a = 0.188, b = 1.836, c = 0.06768
-> The dependance always follows a power law.
Experiment Simulation
2005 – injectionInstabilities found
Sextupoles inportantInstabilities found
2006 –storeDoubtfull
No instabilities“hard” to produce
RHIC
Is the tune difference a valid Lyaponov-function?
-> seams easier to detect.
- What are the frequencies?
Chromaticity=0, no sextupoles, offmomentum
