They are designed to separate two closely spaced electron bunches (28 ns apart) accelerated in one RF macro-pulse and to send them to two separate undulator lines. High shot-to-shot amplitude stability is required to minimize the disturbance of the electron beam trajectories and to ensure stable X-ray lasing. The stability and speed was unlikely to be achieved by standard pulsed systems and a novel 18 MHz, lumped-element resonator deflector with high Q was developed. It is driven into resonance by a specialized pulsed RF driver. At resonance, the circulating currents can approach 300 A and the resulting magnetic field gives the required deflection to the electron bunches. The advanced DC offset measurement system is also described in this paper. The measured stability reached less than 1 ppm (10e-6) rms, well within the project requirements.
