Description
The new-developed electronics system of large area MWPC, HAPI-4 Balloon-borne Hybrid Hard X-ray Astronomy Telescope, is introduced. The circuit units, such as HV powers, HV distributors, charge-sensitive pre-amplifiers, main amplifiers etc., have successfully reduced the output noise, restrained the abnormality of the energy spectra, and improved the overall energy resolution. Filled with 3 atm Xe, the MWPC overall energy resolution of single wire and wire group can reach 7% and 8% respectively at 60 kV
