Feedthrough Simulations

  • The results of the RF measurements showed that the external Q of the BPM was much higher than anticipated.
  • A study was done to reduce the Q factor and return the Q to its goal value of 500.

Position Cavity RF Measurement

  • Results from RF measurement

  • Effect of removing seals, i.e. the antennae protrude 0.45 mm further into the waveguides.

  • The external Q has reduced to a value closer to the expected number.
  • However, the loaded Q is too small, caused by a low internal Q.

Position Cavity Simulation

  • The effect of the antenna length on the Q was studied in simulation.

  • Removing the seals means the antenna separation changes by -0.45 mm, decreasing the overall Q.
  • Comparing the simulated and measured Q's, the measured value was 444 and the simulated was 343.
  • The separation change that gives a loaded Q of ~500 is about -0.15 mm.

Reference Cavity Simulation

  • The above simulations were performed for the reference cavity

Antenna separation change /um Frequency /GHz Loaded Q

-0.15 14.742 401
