What Dimtel does

Dimtel, Inc. is a privately held, founder-led designer and manufacturer of specialized analog and digital signal processing hardware for particle accelerator facilities. Founded in 2006 by Dr. Dmitry Teytelman in San Jose, California, the company sells directly to national laboratories, university research institutes, and government accelerator operators across the United States, Europe, Asia-Pacific, India, and Brazil. Its product portfolio centers on low-level RF (LLRF) control and bunch-by-bunch feedback systems used to stabilize RF fields in lepton storage rings and boosters, and to suppress coupled-bunch instabilities in synchrotrons and free-electron laser facilities.

The core product line is built around the LLRF9 nine-channel RF controller, which performs vector summing of cavity probe signals through low-latency proportional and integral feedback loops; the iGp12, a 500+ MHz 12-bit gigasample processor for bunch-by-bunch applications; the FBE-LT front/back end, the BPMH-20-2G passive sum/difference hybrid network, and the Actico active kick combiner. Together these modules form a turn-key three-plane feedback stack integrated with EPICS control frameworks and include extensive time- and frequency-domain diagnostics. The portfolio is rounded out by the LLRF4.6 evaluation board targeting lower-channel-count and development use cases.

Commercially, Dimtel operates as a low-volume, high-specialization hardware vendor with non-public pricing, direct technical sales, and on-site demonstrations. It maintains a single corporate office in San Jose with a headcount of 1-10 employees and no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or strategic partnerships. Revenue is generated entirely through hardware sales into a narrow vertical of government and academic research facilities whose procurement is tied to accelerator construction and upgrade cycles.

Core offering

Dimtel, Inc. develops and sells analog and digital signal processing hardware for particle accelerators. Its portfolio covers low-level RF (LLRF) controllers that stabilize RF field amplitude and phase, bunch-by-bunch feedback processors and front/back ends that suppress coupled-bunch instabilities, BPM sum/difference hybrid networks, gigasample DSP channels, and supporting modules purpose-built for lepton storage rings, booster synchrotrons, and free electron laser facilities.

Product overview

Dimtel offers a portfolio of specialized hardware products for particle accelerator control and diagnostics. The product line centers on the LLRF9 9-channel low-level RF controller for RF field stabilization, the iGp12 integrated gigasample processor for bunch-by-bunch feedback, and supporting modules including the FBE-LT front/back end for signal processing, BPMH-20-2G hybrid network for beam position monitor signal processing, and Actico active kick combiner for drive signal conversion. The LLRF4.6 evaluation board provides development capabilities for lower-channel-count applications. These products work together as a complete ecosystem for accelerator RF control and bunch-by-bunch feedback systems, interfacing via standard control frameworks like EPICS.

Products and services

• LLRF9 Low-Level RF Controller 9-channel low-level RF controller for lepton storage rings and boosters that performs vector summing of cavity probe signals with low-latency proportional and integral loops to stabilize RF field amplitude and phase; supports 512-point arbitrary profile modulation, integrated fast input interlocks with ±17.4 ns timestamping, EPICS event sequencing, motor control for cavity tuning via RS-485 or Ethernet, and a field balancing loop for multi-cell cavities such as the five-cell PETRA cavity.
• iGp12 Integrated Gigasample Processor High-speed 500+ MHz 12-bit processing channel designed primarily for bunch-by-bunch applications in storage rings, featuring a wideband low-noise ADC input and integrated diagnostic features.
• FBE-LT Bunch-by-Bunch Front/Back End Bunch-by-bunch front/back end providing front-end BPM signal processing and phase/amplitude detection plus back-end upconversion for a complete three-plane bunch-by-bunch feedback system, with the LT variant supporting three input channels.
• BPMH-20-2G BPM Hybrid Network Eight-port passive sum/difference network for wideband processing of signals from capacitive or stripline beam position monitors, providing excellent time-domain response for bunch-by-bunch diagnostic and feedback applications.
• Actico Active Kick Combiner Eight-port analog processor that converts differential kick signals from horizontal and vertical feedback processors to four stripline drive signals for diagonally placed striplines after power amplification.
• LLRF4.6 Evaluation Board Evaluation board featuring four input channels with high-speed ADCs optimized for IF sampling and two DAC channels for direct IF output or IF-to-RF upconversion, designed for accelerator low-level RF as the primary application.
