The Turbo-ICT current sensor and BCM-RF-E electronics receiver perform bunch charge or average current measurements with low noise and high accuracy.
Turbo-ICT relies on the detection of a single spectral ray of the beam bunch. The beam bunch being very short, it behaves like a Dirac. So, all spectral rays have the same intensity.
Turbo-ICT and BCM-RF-E operate at 180 MHz, a rather quiet zone in the overall frequency spectrum.
Main features
- Bunch length ≤ 100 ps
- Resolution of 10 fCrms or 1 % of a single pulse charge
- Bunch repetition rate ≤ 2 MHz
- Possible to get digitized output with BCM-RF-DAQ

BCM-RF-E
BCM-RF-E allows two modes of operation:
- Track-Continuous mode for CW beam and long macropulses.
- Sample&Hold mode for single bunch, with auto trigger feature.
Output is logarithmically proportional to beam current or bunch charge.
BCM-RF-E inserts into a wired station of BCM-RFC, the 19” 3U RF-shielded chassis including power supplies.
Up to 10 stations per chassis can be installed.
Main features
- 80dB measurement range without range switching
- Resolution 1% / accuracy 4% of measured value
- DC Output voltage, logarithmically proportional to input current or input charge
- USB 2.0 controls
BCM-RF-DAQ
Digitizer tailored for the BCM-RF-E
It can acquire the main output of the
BCM-RF-E, whether it is in Sample &
Hold or Track-Continuous mode.
It can be used with any programming
language to fit to your acquisition
chain, or with our EPICS interface
software.
Main features
- Sampling rate 20 times larger than BCM-RF-E bandwidth
- 16-bit ADC
- Installed in the same chassis as the BCM-RF-E
- EPICS, Python and LabVIEW compatible
