Performance Tests of Feature Extraction Algorithms for Short Preamplifier Transients
In this work the extraction of pulse time and amplitude from short pulse transients is analysed as they are recorded by a transient recorder ASIC called ATR16. Algorithms of different complexity are tested with simulated preamplifier data processed with a VHDL model of the ATR16 ASIC. It is shown that a time precision below 1 ns and a signal amplitude precision below 1 MeV energy equivalent is feasible.
