High-Speed RF Data Transmitter for the Fermilab Booster Beam Damping System

摘要

A description is given of the design and realization of an rf transmitter system capable of driving very fast modulation envelopes (12 ns to 20 ns) representative of analog signals through long coaxial cables. The transmitter employs two amplitude-modulated carriers to transmit the amplitude and the polarity of the input drive signal simultaneously, via frequency-division multiplexing over an 800 MHz spectrum in the vhf and uhf bands.
