Abstract
This paper describes the design, realization and performance of the RF Beam Position Measurement Module designed for the Fermilab Energy Doubler. This module measures beam off-axis position and intensity over a 60db dynamic range. For 20 or more contiguous 53MHz beam bunches, the unit will derive a position signal for 108 to 1011 protons per bucket with a position accuracy of ±0.5 mm. Also, the unit will measure the position of 1010 or more protons in a single isolated rf bunch. A beam intensity signal is also generated for triggering purposes. Since 220 of these modules are to be built, cost and performance were optimized. The entire unit is housed in a 1-wide NIM module.Keywords
