Proportional valves are widely used in fluid systems for controlling the volume flow rate or fluid pressure. The actuation of this valves is done by PWM-driven proportional solenoids, which enable self-sensing position determination abilities due to air gap-dependent electrical behaviour, e. g. for condition monitoring or position controlling tasks. However, the sensor properties of conventional proportional solenoids are poor due to ambiguities caused by hysteresis effects (magnetic hysteresis, eddy currents) and saturation effects. Thus, a sensor-designed actuator was developed with very low hysteresis effects and unique position determination by using electrical sheet and a particular air gap design. This paper deals with investigations of a novel self-sensing position determination approach on a demonstrator of the sensor-designed solenoid. The advantage of this method is an online consideration of transient effects such as mean current change and armature motion as well as temperature-dependent resistance. For this, a combined evaluation of the differential inductance and flux linkage during PWM periods is proposed.

La très haute luminosité visée par les futurs collisionneurs linéaires nécessite une très forte focalisation finale des faisceaux au point d’interaction jusqu’à des dimensions transverses nanométriques. Dans le cadre de ce travail, la ligne de haute énergie de l’ILC délivrant le faisceau au point d’interaction a d’abord été optimisée pour permettre le ‘push-pull’ des détecteurs, ainsi que pour étudier l’impact d’une réduction d’une centaine de mètre de la longueur totale de la ligne. L’objet du travail a ensuite consisté à optimiser la région d’interaction pour conserver la luminosité en présence du détecteur de l’expérience contenant un solénoïde et un dipôle. Dans ce but, un modèle de la région d’interaction a été établi, afin d’être en mesure de simuler le transport du faisceau dans l’ensemble de la ligne de haute énergie en intégrant les éléments non coaxiaux du détecteur. Cette modélisation inclut pour la première fois tous les éléments électromagnétiques de la région d’interaction (cavité crabe, quadripôles et sextupôles du système de focalisation, solénoïde, dipôle intégré au détecteur). Elle a permis l’optimisation de l’anti-solénoïde, élément essentiel du système de correction des effets du solénoïde de l’expérience. Pour mesurer les performances de la machine après compensation totale des effets du solénoïde, un outil de calcul de la luminosité apte à utiliser des distributions quelconques a été développé. On montre alors que l’acceptance en moment de la ligne est réduite en présence du solénoïde compensé. Il a de plus été mis en évidence que l’insertion du solénoïde induit le transfert de l’effet de la cavité crabe du plan horizontal vers le plan vertical, ce qui provoque une nouvelle perte de luminosité. Enfin la dernière partie de ce travail de thèse est consacrée à l’étude de l’application d’une configuration à grand angle de Piwinski aux collisionneurs linéaires. Pour cela les paramètres des effets faisceau-faisceau en présence d’un angle de croisement ont été évalués. Il est possible de réduire la disruption du faisceau après collision en conservant la luminosité, en revanche réduire le paramètre de beamstrahlung est moins aisé en raison de la déviation horizontale de la trajectoire centrale. / Strong focalisation of the beam is mandatory at the interaction point of the future linear collider in order to reach very high luminosity. In this work, the ILC (International Linear Collider) beam delivery system has been re-optimised, first to take the ‘push-pull’ of the two detectors into account, then to evaluate the influence of a reduction of the total length by hundred meters approximately. In the following part, the interaction region has been optimised to restore the nominal luminosity in the presence of the detector, containing a solenoid and a magnetic dipole. Due to the crossing angle of the beams, these elements are not coaxial and a model for the interaction region had to be developed. This model enables to track the beam in the entire beam delivery system, from the end of the linac to the interaction point. The simulation includes for the first time all the electromagnetic elements of the interaction region (crab cavity, final focusing system quadrupoles and sextupoles, solenoid, detector integrated dipole). Thanks to this model, the weak anti-solenoid could be added and optimised as the main corrector of the solenoid effects on the beam. To study the new performances of the collider after full compensation of these effects, a luminosity calculation tool has been developed. It is shown that the momentum acceptance is reduced after compensation of the solenoid effects. Moreover, transverse coupling induces the transfer of the crab cavity horizontal kick to the vertical plane, implying a significant luminosity loss. Finally the last part of the thesis concerns the application of a large Piwinski’s angle to the linear colliders. The calculation of the beam-beam interaction parameters in the presence of a crossing angle is studied. Due to the crossing angle the central trajectory is deviated in the horizontal plane, preventing the beamstrahlung to be reduced at constant luminosity. However the disruption could be made significantly smaller.

SHF Photoelektroneninjektoren sind eine vielversprechende Elektronquelle für hochbrillante Teichenbeschleuniger mit hohem mittlerem Strom und kurzen Teilchenpulsen, wie FELs und ERLs. Für das ERL Projekt bERLinPro wurde einer unabhängige Testanlage GunLab entwickelt um die Leistungsfähigkeit der Injektoren und die Strahlparameter zu überprüfen. Darüber hinaus können neue Komponenten zur Strahldiagnose getestet werden. Die Hauptaufgabe von GunLab ist die Beschreibung des vollständigen sechsdimensionalen Phasenraums der Elektronen in Abhängigkeit aller Injektorparameter. Die Anlage besteht aus einer kompakten Diagnosestrahlführungan dem SHF Photoelektroneninjektoren und einem Kathodenlasersystem. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden analytische und numerische Studien zu den SHF Photoelektroneninjektoren durchgeführt, um zu erwartende Strahlparameter zu detektieren und die Anforderungen an die Strahldiagnose festzulegen. Darüber hinaus wurden verschiedene Emittanzbeiträge der einzelnen Injektorkomponenten untersucht. Diesbezüglich wurde das Magnetfeld des aktuellen Solenoiden kartiert und auf Asymmetrien getestet, die ebenfalls zu Emittanzvergrößerungen beitragen können. Eine der wesentlichen Komponenten der Diagnosestrahlführung ist das (transversale) Phasenraummesssystem, für das eine besondere Magnetgeometrie entwickelt wurde. Weitere Diagnose Komponenten sind ein optimierter Spektrometerdipol und eine transversal ablenkende Kavität, durch die sich zusammen mit zwei Quadrupolmagneten die Scheibenemittanz bestimmen lässt. Für GunLab wurden unterschiedliche optische Messsysteme entwickelt und optimiert. Der herausforderndste Aufbau ist dabei das Strahl-Halo Messsystem. Es ermöglicht die Beobachtung der transversalen Ladungsverteilung über einen Dynamikbereich von bis zu 6 Größenordnungen. Die Leistungsfähigkeit und die Auflösung aller Messsysteme und Messroutinen wurden bestimmt, um die Visualisierung des kompletten Phasenraums durch GunLab sicher zu stellen. / SRF photoelectron injectors are promising electron sources for high brightness accelerators with high average current and short pulse duration like FELs and ERLs. For the ERL project bERLinPro an independent test facility called GunLab was developed and set up to optimize the operation performance of SRF photoinjectors and the electron beam parameters. Furthermore, GunLab allows to investigate the operation of different kinds of photocathodes in the environment of an SRF accelerator and to study new beam diagnostic concepts. Of outmost importance is the characterization of the full six dimensional phase space as a function of all injector parameters. GunLab consists of the compact diagnostic beam line, connected to the SRF photoinjetor module, and a drive laser. In the context of this thesis, analytical and numerical investigations of the SRF photoinjector were performed to estimate beam parameter ranges and to determine the diagnostics requirements. Furthermore, various emittance contributors of the injector were determined. Thereby the magnetic field of the final designed solenoid was measured to determine field asymmetries, which are one major source of emittance growth. One of the central diagnostic components of the beamline is the (horizontal) phase space scanner system. For this purpose, a dedicated air-coil magnet design was developed. Additional diagnostic components include an optimized spectrometer system, a transverse deflecting cavity (TCav) and two quadrupole magnets, to determine longitudinal and sliced emittance. For GunLab different optical measurement systems were developed and optimized, the most challenging setup is a beam halo measurement system. This device is able to observe the transverse charge density with a dynamic range of up to 6 orders of magnitude. The performance and the resolution of all measurement systems and routines for GunLab were determined to ensure the visualization of the electron beam phase space.

O emprego de sistemas em fluxo com multi-impulsão são destaques quanto ao volume de efluentes gerados e a possibilidade de mecanização, operando em condições dinâmicas. A utilização de microbombas solenoide é potencial em processos de adsorção/dessorção de analitos, pois desempenham o fluxo pulsado, e quando operadas em conjunto com o estabelecimento da condição de leito fluidizado, contribuem para o aumento da eficiência de adsorção/dessorção. O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi desenvolver e avaliar sistemas de extração sólido-líquido e análises química em fluxo, explorando fluxos pulsados e o estabelecimento da condição de leito fluidizado, visando melhorar a eficiência de interação da amostra e reagente. Para tanto, foram desenvolvidos sistemas em fluxo com multi-impulsão associados ao uso de colunas de leito fluidizado. 1) Sistema para determinação da capacidade de adsorção de fósforo; determinação do fósforo remanescente (P-rem) em solos; 2) Sistema para determinação da capacidade de troca catiônica (CTC) de solos, avaliando a adsorção e a dessorção de analitos. Foi demonstrado que o fósforo e o cálcio contidos em solução são eficientemente adsorvidos/dessorvidos pelo solo, reduzindo significativamente os efeitos de aumento de pressão com o estabelecimento do leito fluidizado (fluidização pulsada) nas colunas contendo 50 mg de amostras de solo. A substituição do fluxo pulsado (microbomba solenoide) pelo fluxo contínuo (bomba peristáltica) limitou a interação sólido-líquido, pois estabeleceu caminhos preferenciais, desfavorecendo as condições de mistura. A utilização das microbombas solenoide em conjunto com a fluidização das amostras de solo, apresentou vantagens quanto à diminuição da quantidade de massa de solo requerida (entre 100 e 200 vezes), redução do consumo de reagentes e resíduos gerados (40 vezes), demonstrando o potencial do sistema em fluxo proposto por ser uma alternativa ambientalmente adequada. Os sistemas propostos são versáteis e facilmente adaptados para outros estudos de extração / Multi-pumping flow systems are highlights on the volume of effluents generated and mechanization, operating in dynamic conditions. Solenoid micro-pumps are potential in the analyte adsorption/desorption processes, because they play the pulsed flow and when operated in conjunction with the establishment of the fluidized bed condition, contribute to the increase of the adsorption/desorption efficiency. The objective of this work was to develop and evaluate solid-liquid extraction and flow analysis systems, exploring pulsed flows and establishing the fluidized bed condition in order to improve the solid-liquid interaction efficiency. It was developed multi-pumping flow systems associated with the establishment of the fluidized bed columns. 1) System for determination of phosphorus adsorption capacity; determination of the remaining phosphorus (P-rem) in soils; 2) System to determine the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of soils, evaluating the adsorption and desorption of analyte. It has been shown that the phosphorus and calcium contained in solution are efficiently adsorbed/desorbed by the soil, significantly reducing the effects of pressure increase with the establishment of the fluidized bed (pulsed fluidization) in the columns containing 50 mg of soil samples. The substitution of the pulsed flow (solenoid micro-pump) by the continuous flow (peristaltic pump) limited the solid-liquid interaction, since it established preferential pathways, undermining the mixing conditions. The use of the solenoid micro-pumps in conjunction with the fluidization of the soil samples presented advantages in terms of decreasing the amount of soil mass required (between 100 and 200-fold time), reducing the consumption of reagents, solutions and waste production (40-fold time), demonstrating the potential of this system to be an environmentally friendly alternative. The proposed systems are versatile and easily adapted to other extraction studies

Les objectifs de ce travail concernent l'étude, la conception et la caractérisation d'antennes miniatures actives ou passives, large bande ou bande étroite fonctionnant en bandes MF, HF et VHF. Le manuscrit est divisé en cinq parties : La première partie présente un système de caractérisation d'antennes qui a été développé, validé et utilisé pour tous les aériens conçus. Ce système, basé sur une cellule à plaque parallèles (PPC), permet un large spectre de mesures telles que la mesure du gain, du point de compression, de l'intermodulation et de la sensibilité via une méthode rayonnée, particulièrement intéressante dans le cas des antennes actives intégrées. La deuxième partie concerne les antennes solénoïdales sur ferrite. L'utilisation de simulateurs électromagnétiques 3D a permis d'obtenir des résultats qui sont comparés à la théorie proposée dans la littérature. Les principaux systèmes d'adaptation d'impédance sont également étudiés. La troisième partie met en avant la possibilité de concevoir des antennes à substrat ferromagnétique de géométrie non conventionnelle en utilisant des matériaux composites. Deux antennes miniatures fabriquées et fonctionnant en bande VHF permettent d'illustrer ce point. Dans la quatrième partie, nous présentons un concept d'antennes à substrat ferromagnétique partiellement saturé. L'utilisation d'une source de champ magnétique statique associée à un matériau initialement dispersif permet de constater un certain nombre de phénomènes intéressants, tels que l'amélioration de l'efficacité tout en préservant l'adaptation de l'antenne ou bien la création de directivité sur des antennes électriquement très compactes. La dernière partie présente la valorisation du travail à travers un projet de télécommunication hertzienne longue portée s'inscrivant dans le cadre de la navigation maritime. / The objectives of this work concern the study, the design and the measurement of miniaturized passive and active, broadband and narrowband antennas for MF, HF and VHF frequency bands. The thesis is divided into five parts : The first part deals with a measurement system, which has been developed, validated and used for all conceived aerials. The system is based on a parallel plate cell (PPC) and allows an evaluation of the gain, the compression point, the interception point and the sensitivity using a radiative method particularly useful in the case of active integrated antennas. The second part concerns solenoidal ferrite antennas. The results obtained from electromagnetic 3D simulators were compared to the state of the art theory. Main matching technics have also been studied. The third part put the light on the possibility of development of arbitrary shaped antennas on a ferromagnetic substrate using a composite material. Two antennas developed for the VHF band, confirm this point. In the fourth part, we present a concept of antennas on a partially saturated ferromagnetic substrate. A static magnetic field associated with an initially lossy material brings up some interesting phenomena such as an increased efficiency without a degradation of the impedance matching or the directivity with very small antennas. The last part presents an application of the work across a project dedicated to long distance telecommunications in marine navigation.
