UTCA / STAND-ALONE BPM

UTCA / STAND-ALONE BPM Beam Position Monitoring system

Our digital beam position monitoring system (BPM), built on uTCA technology, offers precise measurement of beam position in the XY plane, crucial for optimizing particle accelerator performance. It accurately tracks the position, spread, current, and time of flight (TOF) of the beam, facilitating efficient commissioning and operation of accelerating cavities.

Tailored to your specific requirements, our solution leverages our expertise in PCIe-S BPM equipment, now integrated with advanced crate technologies.

UTCA / STAND-ALONE BPM Main Performance Highlights:

Dynamic range: [-75, 0] dBm
Position precision: < 25um
Phase precision: < 0.1°
