PULSE COMPRESSOR PHASE AND AMPLITUDE MODULATION BASED ON ITERATIVE LEARNING CONTROL

This paper presents an alternative way to produce flattopped RF pulses at the pulse compressor output. Flattopped RF pulses are suitable for multi-bunch operation where it is often required that beams experience the same accelerating gradient. Moreover, the energy gain, in this case, is less sensitive to timing jitters. The proposed approach is based on Iterative Learning Control technique, which iteratively updates the input waveforms, in order to generate the desired output waveforms.
