RFKO system for single-bunch operation of Hefei liglit source

A new RFKO（RF Knock Out） system for partial filling operation is in commission at the Hefei liglit source storage ring. This system is composed of a frequency divider, waveform generator, vector signal source and wideband amplifier. The in-phase signal of beam bunch is obtained by dividing the reference signal from the storage ring's RF system. Triggered by the in-phase signal, the waveform generator outputs a pulse burst. Modulated by the pulse, the waveform generator produces the RFKO signal, and the RFKO signal is applied to the strip line after amplification. The single bunch operation is achieved in this way and the current has reached 18 mA at present. Some bunch-train patterns such as 3-train with 6-bunch and non-uniform bunch train are also tested.
