Instrumentation

Knowledge base

The different areas of activity of the Beam Instrumentation group cover:

• RadioFrequency circuit design
• Digital circuit design
• Electro-magnetic sensor design
• Optical instrumentation design
• Low Level software development
• Integration of the "off-the-shelf" instruments in machine measurements

The development tools and instruments routinely used in the Laboratory are:

• RF measurement laboratory, both in time and frequenmcy domain
• Digital circuits development tools
• Integrated CAD environment (PCB design, FPGA synthesis etc.)
• Software development tools under different Operationg Systems, like OS/9, Linux (also with Real Time extension), Windows, including graphical interfaces
• 8-bit and 16-bit micro-controller development environments and field buses
