Analysis of control signal jitter in the distributed synchronous trigger control system for pulse power combining

Abstract

Pulsed power technology plays a crucial role in the frontier fields. Its systems are evolving towards modularization and distribution, and high-precision synchronous triggering is required for the cooperation of multiple modules. Traditional centralized triggering systems can hardly meet the requirement of nanosecond-level global synchronization in complex scenarios. Moreover, the existing low-jitter triggering technologies also have many limitations, which have restricted the development of pulsed power systems towards higher energy levels. This article analyzes the mechanism of jitter generation in a distributed synchronous triggering system and constructs a mathematical model. The experiment conducted a significance test, with a normal distribution of 0.5 and an average distribution of 0.1457. So we verify the model through experimental analysis.
