The architecture of a multi-channel front-end system is important for realizing a high-resolution PET system. We propose a novel front-end readout electronic system with TDC to deal with time information for PET system which can easily design the timing control. Each channel consists of a charge preamplifier, slow/fast shaper, discriminator and a analog memory. There are a ADC and a TDC to proc...

Since the introduction of monolithic IC amplifiers there has been a continual improvement in DC accuracy. Bias currents have been decreased by 5 orders of magnitude over the past 5 years. Low offset voltage drift is also necessary in a high accuracy circuits. This is evidenced by the popularity of low drift amplifier types as well as the requests for selected low-drift op amps. However, until n...

We describe the design, schematics, and performances of a very-low-noise, low-frequency preamplifier. It operates in the 5 Hz-100 kHz range and offers an input equivalent voltage noise density as low as 65 pV/ ,/I%; the current noise increases with frequency and settles to about 1.5 pA/ @ at 100 kHz. The amplifier uses input and feedback signal transformers and operates in full differential mod...

An attempt is made to predict the thermal noise and the shot noise for silicon strip detectors connected to the Beetle preamplifier from basic electronic noise principles. The calibration pulse shapes are used to determine the frequency dependant gain function of the Beetle. The calculated noise values are compared with measurements on the prototype ladders. In addition the signal propagation i...

A digital timing method aiming to minimize the time walk caused by the depth-dependent pulse shape variations in CdTe detectors has been developed. Detector pulses are digitized at the preamplifier stage and a full digital process is carried out to deduce and correct the time walk according to the interaction depth. A time resolution of 6.52 ns FWHM at an energy threshold of 150 keV with a CdTe...

The paper describes a receive coil system for low-field NMR scanner intended for cardio measurements. The coil system is based on good qualities of surface coils accommodating them to volume measurements. The active volume of the coil is widened using two inductively coupled resonators. Signal from the coil system is amplified using a highimpedance preamplifier thus no special matching is neces...
