Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), is one of the third-generation high-beam current (3.5 GeV) synchrotron light sources. In the storage ring of SSRF, multi-bunch instabilities would increase beam emittance and energy spread, which degrade beam quality and even cause beam loss. To address the above issues, a Transverse Feedback System is indispensable for SSRF, in which the key component is the bunch-by-bunch transverse feedback electronics. The whole feedback system consists of five main parts: Beam Position Monitor (BPM), RF front-end, signal processor, RF amplifier, and vertical/horizontal transverse kickers. The dissertation focuses on the signal processor we design, which is the main part of the feedback electronics. We conducted initial testing on the signal processor to evaluate its performance and function. Test results indicate that ENOB of the Analog-to-Digital Conversion circuit is better than 10 bit with 100 MHz input signal, and remains better than 9.5 bit up to 300 MHz, which is good enough for the required 7.9 bit; the frequency response of the whole system also concords well with the simulation results, and the suppression in amplitude response at the critical frequency points is better 35 dB while the uncertainty of phase response is better than 2º, all meeting the application requirement.

Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) is a 3.5 GeV storage ring with a bunch rate of 499.654 MHz, harmonic number of 720, and circumference of 432 meters. SSRF injection works at 3.5 GeV, where the multi-bunch instabilities limit the maximum stored current. In order to suppress multi-bunch instabilities caused by transverse impedance, a bunch-by-bunch transverse feedback system is indispensable for SSRF. The key component of that system is the bunch-by-bunch transverse feedback electronics. An important task in the electronics is precise time synchronization. In this paper, a novel clock synchronization and precise delay adjustment method based on the PLLs and delay lines are proposed. Test results indicate that the ENOB (Effective Number Of Bits) of the analog-to-digital conversion circuit is better than 9 bits in the input signal frequency range from 100 kHz to 700 MHz, and the closed loop attenuation at the critical frequency points is better than 40 dB. The initial commissioning tests with the beam in SSRF are also conducted, and the results are consistent with the expectations.Index Terms: beam feedback, bunch-by-bunch transverse feedback, clock synchronization, precise delay adjustment
