Description
The TRIUMF ISAC-1 and ISAC-2 accelerator chains uses multiple fixed frequencies in their RF cavities. These include 5.8933 MHz, 11.7866 MHz, 35.36 MHz, 106.08 MHz and 141.44 MHz. These need to be synchronized in phase with respect to each other’s. The new frequency sources use x2, x3 and x4 low phase noise multipliers to generate these frequencies from a single low phase noise 5.8933 MHz frequency synthesizer. Bench tests have shown that the frequency multipliers do not generate additional phase noises, except those that are theoretically produced due to frequency multiplication. With an average performance frequency source as a reference which has -85dBc/Hz at 10 Hz offset, the integrated rms phase noise of 141.44 MHz multiplied output is less than 0.5°.
