TRANSMITTER CRATE [Overview] VME 6U RF-compliant crate (J2 not standard VME) Provided by AB/RF Installed in the SR4 (where the RF is generated) Controlled, supported and maintained by AB/RF Filled with transmitter VME modules used by the AB/RF group to transmit their own
signalso Optical components were already identified, buto It turned out that the VME modules were not designed yeto Design made by PH/ESS for the AB/RF groupo PH/ESS proposed to AB/RF a second version of these modules with cheaper
components (which could fulfill the requirements of 70% of their equipment) One laser chip per signal to be transmitted

RECEIVER CRATE [RF_Rx – ‘Analogue’ version]
Design done by PH/ESS (A. Monera) The corresponding Transmitter module has
been designed by PH/ESS as well Specifications written by the AB/RF group Tx and Rx components selected by the AB/RF
groupo Initially to transmit the LHC RF (400MHz continuous
sinewave)
6U VME modules (VME 64x and VME 64 compatible)o 2 receivers per moduleo Internal registers monitoring the optical power levelso Heat sink required (..) to keep the Miteq Rx and Tx at
about 35 C Deg.EDA-1332

RECEIVER CRATE [RF_Rx – ‘Digital’ version]
EDA-1382A. Monera Martinez
Proposed by PH/ESS to AB/RF to replace the Analogue version where a cheaper laser could do the job.o Typically 400MHz or 40MHz clocks, Orbits, etc…
If accepted by AB/RF, would be supported and maintained by them as well.
Design done by PH/ESS (A. Monera) The corresponding Transmitter module has been designed
by PH/ESS as well 6U VME (VME 64x and VME 64 compatible)
o 3 types of optical receivers according to various requirements• Various types of receivers can be plugged with minor hardware
adjustments• Allows us to compare their performances in real conditions
o Internal registers• Signal detect (R)• Frequency detect for each channel (Read Only)• Threshold level adjustment (R/W)
o Firmware very close to the Analogue version

CONCLUSION
Transmission Schemeso Analogue version validated (at, say, 90%)
• 5 prototype boards available (= 10 links)o Digital version in course of validation
• 5 prototype boards available (= up to 30 links)• Extended tests to be done in the TTC lab• Being tested by all the AB potential users right now• The AB/RF group needs to give its agreement to have these modules as standard
modules– Mandatory, as they will do the on-call support
RF2TTC prototype just arrived at CERN• System test to begin next week, with the following criteria
– Jitter test– System stability and reliability – Characterization (temperature, optical power range,..)
Production Readiness Review to be done in November o Can be preceded by tests done by experiments if they request it
Production to begin only after a green light from AB/RF group and experimentso 3 RF2TTC modules per experiment + 3 at the TTC lab + PCB and components
for 10 more spareso 3 RF_Rx (in the digital case) per experiment + 3 in the TTC lab, spares (pool of
spares maintained by the AB/RF, + extra batch of critical components)
