Sumario:As part of the LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU) Project [1], a wideband feedback system is under study for mitigation of coherent single bunch instabilities. This type of system may provide a generic way of shifting the instability threshold to regions that are currently inaccessible, thus, boosting the brightness of future beams. To study the effectiveness of such systems, a numerical model has been developed that constitutes a realistic feedback system including real transfer functions for pickup and kicker, realistic N-tap FIR and IIR filters as well as noise and saturation effects. Simulations of SPS cases have been performed with HEADTAIL to evaluate the feedback effectiveness in the presence of transverse mode coupling and electron clouds. Some results are presented addressing bandwidth limitations and amplifier power requirements.
