A proposal for a trajectory measurement system for the PS Booster

This is a proposal to equip the CERN PS Booster with a trajectory measurement system along the same lines as was previously done for the PS. That is, high-speed ADCs convert all BPM signals directly into the digital domain at a high rate, and individual bunch positions as well as averaged orbits are calculated on the fly and stored into a large circular buffer memory. Multiple users may then read the data they are interested in. The system will make use of modern fast ADCs, large FPGAs and SDRAM.
