ED - Schaa, Volker RW TI - Complete Test Results of New BPM Electronics for the ESRF New LE-Ring J2 - Proc. of IBIC2018, Shanghai, China, 09-13 September 2018 CY - Shanghai, China T2 - International Beam Instrumentation Conference T3 - 7 LA - english AB - Among the 320 BPMs in the ESRF new low emittance ring, a set of 128 units will be equipped with new electronics, while the other set (192) will be served by the existing Libera-Brilliance electronics. These new electronics are an upgraded version of the low-cost Spark electronics originally developed 3 years ago for the ESRF Injector complex. All these 128 units have been installed in the first half of 2018 on existing BPM signals (through duplication with RF-splitters) and subsequently been tested thoroughly for performance characteristics like stability, resolution and reliability. It will be shown that while these Sparks have a very straightforward and simple concept, i.e. completely omitting calibration schemes like RF-cross-bar switching, pilot-tone introduction or active temperature control, that they are fully compatible with all the beam position measurement requirements of this new ring.
