MODEL

855

DUAL

SPECTROSCOPY

AMPLIFIER

1.

DESCRIPTION

1.1.

GENERAL

The

EG&G

ORTEC

855

Amplifier

is

two

spectroscopy

amplifiers

in

a

singie-width

NIM

module

that

feature

a

versatile

combination

of

jumper-selectable

pulse-

shaping

characteristics.

The

amplifier

has

extremely

low

noise,

a

wide

gain

range,

and

excellent

overload

response

for

universal

application

in

high-resolution

spectroscopy.

it

accepts

input

pulses

of

either

polarity.

Input

may

originate

from

germanium

or

silicon

semi

conductor

detectors,

from

scintillation

counters

with

either

fast

or

slow

scintillators,

from

proportional

count

ers,

from

pulsed

ionization

chambers,

from

electron

multipliers,

etc.

The

unit

has

an

input

impedance

of—1000

Q

and

accepts

either

positive

or

negative

input

pulses

with

rise

times

<650

ns

and

fall

times

>30

/vs.

Three

integration

and

differentiation

time

constants

are

jumper-selectable

on

the

printed

wiring

board

(PWB)

to

provide

optimum

shap

ing

for

resolution

and

count

rate.

The

differentiation

net

work

has

variable

pole-zero

cancellation

that

can

be

adjusted

to

match

preamplifiers

with

decay

times

>30/vs.

The

pole-zero

cancellation

drastically

reduces

the

under

shoot

after

the

differentiator

and

greatly

improves

over

load

and

count

rate

characteristics.

In

addition,

the

amplifier

contains

an

active,

filter-shaping

network

that

optimizes

the

signal-to-noise

ratio

and

minimizes

the

overall

resolving

time.

The

amplifier

has

unipolar

and

bipolar

BNC

outputs.

The

unipolar

output

is

used

for

spectroscopy

m

systems

where

dc

coupling

can

be

maintained

from

the

855

to

the

analyzer.

A

BLR

(baseline

restorer)

circuit

is

included

in

the

unit

for

improved

performance

at

all

count

rates.

Baseline

correction

is

applied

only

during

intervals

be

tween

input

pulses

and

automatically

selects

a

discrimi

nator

level

to

identify

input

pulses.

The

unipolar

output

dc

level

is

within

the

range

of

-5

mV

to

-^5

mV.

This

output

permits

the

use

of

the

direct-coupled

input

of

the

anaiyzer

I

with

a

minimum

amount

of

interface

problems.

The

855

can

be

used

for

constant-fraction

timing

when

operated

in

conjunction

with

an

EG&G

ORTEC

551, 552,

or

553

Timing

Single-Channel

Analyzer.

The

EG&G

ORTEC

Timing

Single-Channel

Analyzers

feature

a

mini

mum

of

walk

as

a

function

of

pulse

amplitude

and

incor

porate

a

variable

delay

time

on

the

output

pulse

to

enable

the

timing

pickoff

output

to

be

placed

in

time

coincidence

with

other

signals.

The

355

has

complete

provisions,

including

power

dis

tribution,

for

operating

any

EG&G

ORTEC

soiid-state

preamplifier.

Normally,

the

preamplifier

pulses

should

have

a

rise

time

of

0.25

/vs

or

less

to

properly

match

the

amplifier

filter

network

and

a

decay

time

>30/vs

for

proper

pole-zero

cancellation.

The

input

impedance

is

1000

Q.

When

long

preamplifier

cables

are

used,

the

cables

can

be

terminated

in

series

at

the

preamplifier

end

or

in

shunt

at

the

amplifier

end

with

the

proper

resistors.

The

output

impedance

is

—0.2

O,

and

the

output

can

be

connected

to

other

equipment

by

a

single

cable

going

to

all

equipment.

The

cable

must

be

shunt-terminated

at

the

far

end.

(See

Section

3

for

further

information.)

1.2.

POLE-ZERO

CANCELLATION

Pole-zero

cancellation

is

a

method

for

eliminating

pulse

undershoot

after

the

differentiating

network.

In

an

am

plifier

not

using

pole-zero

cancellation

(Fig.-I.l)

the

ex

ponential

tail

on

the

preamplifier

output

signal

(usually

50

to

500

fus)

causes

an

undershoot

whose

peak

amplitude

is

roughly

determined

from;

undershoot

amplitude

differentiated

pulse

amplitude

_

differentiation

time

preamplifier

pulse

decay

time.

For

a

^-fJS

differentiation

time

and

a

50-/vs

pulse

decay

time

the

maximum

undershoot

is

2%,

and

this

decays

with

a

50-a(S

time

constant.

Under

overload

conditions

this

undershoot

is

often

sufficiently

large

to

saturate

the

am

plifier

during

a

considerable

portion

of

the

undershoot,

causing

excessive

dead

time.

This

effect

can

be

reduced

by

increasing

the

preamplifier

pulse

decay

time

(which

generally

reduces

the

counting

rate

capabilities

of

the

preamplifier)

or

compensating

for

the

undershoot

by

providing

pole-zero

cancellation.

Pole-zero

cancellation

is

accomplished

by

the

network

shown

in

Fig.

1.2.

The

pole

(s

-i-

(1/To)]

due

to

the

pream

plifier

pulse

decay

time

is

cancelled

by

the

zero

of

the

-

network

[s

-r

(k/R2Ci)].

In

effect,

the

dc

path

across

the

differentiation

capacitor

adds

an

attenuated

replica

of

the

preamplifier

pulse

to

just

cancel

the

negative

undershoot

■

of

the

differentiating

network.

Total

preamplifier-amplifier

pole-zero

cancellation

re

quires

that

the

preamplifier

output

pulse

decay

time

be

a

single

exponential

decay

and

be

matched

to

the

pole-

zero

cancellation

network.

The

variable

pole-zero

cancel

lation

network

allows

accurate

cancellation

for

all

pream

plifiers

having

30-/vs

or

greater

decay

times.

Improper

matching

of

the

pole-zero

network

will

degrade

the

over

load

performance

and

cause

excessive

pileup

distortion

at

medium

counting

rates.

Improper

matching

causes

either

an

undercompensation

(undershoot

is

not

elimi

nated)

or

an

overcompensation

(output

after

the

main

pulse

does

not

return

to

the

baseline

but

decays

to

the

baseline

with

the

preamplifier

time

constant).

ACTIVE

FILTER

When

only

PET

gate

current

and

drain

thermal

noise

are

considered,

the

best

signal-to-noise

ratio

occurs

when

the

two

noise

contributions

are

equal

for

a

given

input

pulse

shape.

The

gaussian

pulse

shape

(Fig.

1.3)

for

this

condition

requires

an

amplifier

with

a

single

RC

differen

tiation

and

n

equal

RC

integrations

where

n

approaches

infinity.

The

Laplace

transform

of

this

transfer

function

is

Ralativa

[S+(1/RC)]"

(n

-

*

where

the

first

factor

is

the

single

differentiation,

and

the

second

factor

is

the

The

active

filter

ap

proximates

this

transfer

function.

Figure

1.3

illustrates

the

results

of

pulse

shaping

in

an

amplifier.

Of

the

four

pulse

shapes

shown

the

cusp

would

produce

minimum

noise,

but

this

is

impractical

to

achieve

with

normal

electronic

circuitry

and

would

be

The

deteri

orates

the

signal-to-noise

ratio

by

only

about

12%

from

that

of

the

cusp

and

produces

a

signal

that

is

easy

to

measure

but

requires

many

sections

of

integration

(n

—

With

two

sections

of

integration

the

waveform

identified

as

a

gaussian

approximation

can

be

obtained,

and

this

deteriorates

the

signal-to-noise

ratio

by

about

22%.

obtains

them

with

By

this

method,

the

has

a

good

signal-to-noise

ratio,

is

easy

to

calculate,

and

requires

only

a

to

achieve

the
