Measurements of effective Radio Frequency (RF) field parameters (amplitude and phase) are tasks of great importance in high-energy accelerators*. The RF signal is downconverted in frequency to intermediate frequency (IF) but keeping the information about amplitude and phase. The IF signal is then sampled in ADC and processed in digital IQ detector computing the I and Q components**. The downconverter is a nonlinear device thus not only the fundamental frequency but also its harmonics are present and sampled by ADC. For a typical downconverter (used in FLASH LLRF system) the higher order harmonics levels depend on RF signal level and are about 40dBm lower than the fundamental frequency component. These harmonics can produce errors in IQ detector of up to few percent in amplitude and few degree in phase. These errors depends not only on nonlinearity of downconverter but also on the IQ detection scheme*** (IF and sampling rate SR). The paper presents the optimization of the IQ detection scheme (choosing the IF and SR) taking into account the nonlinear characteristics of the downconverter.

At pulsed linear accelerators, fast proportional rf control compensates beam loading sufficiently for single or a few bunches. In the case of long bunch trains, additional measures have to be taken commonly by adding a compensation signal to the rf drive signals calculated from the predicted beam intensity. In contrast to predictive methods, techniques based on real time beam measurements are sensitive to fast changes of the beam intensity and bunch patterns. At FLASH we apply a beam loading compensation scheme based on toroid monitor signals. This paper presents the compensation scheme, the calibration procedure and the effect on the beam.
