Application of precision low frequency signal generation as intermediate frequency for upconversion in particle accelerator field control

Modern particle accelerators [9] have very strict requirements for controlling signal. Commonly used in this application analog vector modulators influents on quality of signal. Adaptive algorithm controlling field parameters can compensate imprecision, but this will influent on stabilities and adaptation range. This paper presents possibility of generating high frequency signal using low frequency signal and analog upconversion. Low frequency signal is synthesized by calculation of samples that are sent to digital to analog converter. Method of generation of low frequency signal are described.
