Abstract
Precisely tracking band-pass filters centred at the sixth and seventh harmonic of the revolution frequency are required1). During the accelerating cycle of 0.6 sec the frequency changes by a factor 2.7. The resulting tracking problem is solved by active two-path filters, where the centre frequency is governed by the frequency of a pair of sinusoidal signals in quadrature, which are generated from the accelerating RF frequency (fifth harmonic) by means of a phase-locked loop and a loop-controlled phase shifter. The phase change caused by the large frequency sweep (6 or 7 MHz) in conjunction with the delay in the feedback loop (cables, etc.) is compensated by a digital system, which computes the required phase advance from the value of the RF frequency and controls digitally the phase shift of the two-path filters. A low-frequency quadrature VCO is made to track the synchrotron frequency or harmonics hereof from analogue information about bending magnet field (momentum) and RF voltage. This quadrature pair ensures tracking of single sideband filters which permit each individual mode sideband to be examined throughout the cycle. A drive system can, by means of a similar VCO, generate any desired mode sideband, and thus excite any given mode.
