High-Count-Rate Spectroscopy with Ge Detectors: Quantitative Evaluation of the Performance of High-Rate Systems1
نویسنده
چکیده
There is increasing interest in germanium detector gamma-ray spectroscopy performed at high and ultra-high count rates. Applications exist in fields as diverse as neutron-activation analysis, post-accident sampling, stack monitoring, and fuelpin scanning. The publication of a recent paper claiming exceptional performance for an ultra-high-count-rate package of instruments is the catalyst for this review of the issues involved in high-count-rate spectroscopy systems and performance criteria for such systems.2

متن کاملEffects of Non-Ideal Pre-Distorter High Power Amplifiers in WCDMA Using Multi-User Detectors
Wide band code division multiple access (WCDMA) signals, transmitted by the base station high power amplifiers (HPAs), show high peak to average power ratios (PAPR), which results in nonlinear distortions. In this paper, using computer simulations effect of using a predistorted HPA on the symbol error rate (SER) of multi-user detectors in terms of output back-off (OBO) in the transmit power...
