Description
Noise evaluation in modern eBPM systems for accelerators can be a difficult task, since their complexity allows a plethora of noise sources of different types.
To simplify the calculations during the system design, we propose to split the analysis into two sections: the pickups (as passive devices) and the front-end electronics including the conversion section (as active devices). In the former, modelled as receiving antennas, concepts such as noise temperature and impedance mismatch have to be taken into account, while in the latter other types of contributions such as like 1/f and quantization noise have to be considered.
We will present our findings during the development of the eBPM system for Elettra 2.0, with the aim of starting a fruitful discussion with the participants thanks to their experience in this field.
