SLED phase reverse system based on FPGA

This paper introduces the phase reverse system designed for SLAC Energy Doubler (SLED) based on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The phase reverse system is composed of a microwave IQ vector modulator, a FPGA board with the high speed DAC unit. Modulated by the DAC output pulse signal, the IQ modulator transforms the RF CW input signal into 4 s pulse output signal, whose phase is reversed to 180 at the moment of 3 s. The test results show that the phase reversal accuracy is about 1802, and the stability is better than 0.5. The RF power gains of six SLEDs are more than 7 dB, the maximum 7.54 dB is achieved. The long-term variation of the power gain is 0.1 dB.
