Description

Based on commonly applied digital signal processing circuit in nuclear electronics, the dependence of digital filtering performance on ADC sampling frequency has been analyzed. Derive analytically the amplitude measurement performance on the sampling frequency, and then obtain the optimum signal-to-noise ratio under certain sampling frequency as well as noise index of digital trapezoidal filter. The dependence of amplitude measurement fluctuation on the sampling frequency is demonstrated by the numerical simulation and measurements with digital oscilloscope sampling. The dependence of the noise of ORTEC 142AH charge sensitive pre amplifier on the sampling frequency is consistent with the theoretical results. This study offers a theoretical criterion for sampling frequency selection in digital amplitude measurements. (authors)
