Analysis and Test of New Tuning Algorithm for Low Beta Superconducting Cavity

为了使腔体在复杂电磁环境下处于谐振状态,保持超导腔加速电压的幅度相位稳定,研发了一种应用于自激锁相模式的腔体新型调谐算法。利用正交电压Q值控制调谐器调谐,从而消除了输入和输出间的相位误差,给出了理论推导过程与该算法的可靠性分析。该算法已应用于中国科学院近代物理研究所ADS项目超导加速器中,简化了传统控制模式中的信号采样数量,提高了系统控制精度与抗干扰能力,使腔体克服了在调谐过程中由于功率上冲引起的氦压波动。保证了超导腔在工作状态下,频率稳定在162.5 MHz,频率误差小于17 Hz。

For the purposes of keeping the resonant cavity steady in a complex electromagnetic environment and maintaining stable amplitude and phase, a new tuning algorithm for superconducting RF cavity operated in self-excited phase-locked mode has been developed. The quadrature voltage was employed to control the tuner under the phase-locked condition, so as to eliminate phase measurement between the input and the output. This paper demonstrates the principle of this ＂Minimum Q＂ tuning algorithm and presents an analysis of the stability of the system. The algorithm is applied to the superconducting accelerator of the Institute of Modern Physics＇ ADS project. The ＂Minimum Q＂ tuning algorithmnot only simplifies the number of signal sampling but also improves the control accuracy and anti-interference ability of the system, while enables the cavity to overcome the helium pressure fluctuation which caused by power overshoot. It ensures that the frequency of the superconducting cavity is stable at 162.5 MHz, and the frequency error is less than 17 Hz.
