Topic : Development of Low Level Radio Frequency system

  

 Scope  

                        The RF systems of the Siam photon source is controlled by the Low-Level Radio Frequency (LLRF) control system. The present LLRF is based on the FPGA. This is a turnkey product from company. To be able of programing and diagnose the whole RF system, the project of self-developed LLRF based on FPGA is established. This will design the system based on the present and future FPGA platform. Aiming is to build the LLRF from the FPGA products in the market, programing using our owned developed algorithm. This included data acquisition both ADC and DAC of the RF signals, the digital RF signal processing. Testing of the developed system can be done with the RF system testing station at SLRI.
                        Tools to be used: the FPGA programing in which come together with the FPGA module. FPGA boards and modules will be procured for the project.
                        Skill to be built: Candidate will gain skill and knowledge of the FPGA programing/coding, FPGA structures and circuit design. Controlled algorithm and application to real systems will be acquired during the process of building the system.
