Single photon detector (SPD) has a maximum count rate due to its dead time, which results in that the dynamic range of photon counting optical time-domain reflectometry (PC-OTDR) de-creases with the length of monitored fiber. To further…

Back-n is a white neutron experimental facility at China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). The time structure of the primary proton beam make it fully applicable to use TOF (time-of-flight) method for neutron energy measuring. We implement…

We introduce the waveform capture device (WCD), a flexible measurement system capable of recording complex digital signals on trillionth-of-a-second (ps) time scales. The WCD is implemented via modular code on an off-the-shelf…

Visual tracking is one of the most important application areas of computer vision. At present, most algorithms are mainly implemented on PCs, and it is difficult to ensure real-time performance when applied in the real scenario. In order to…

A new TDC-chip is under development for the COMPASS experiment at CERN. The ASIC, which exploits the 0.6 micrometer CMOS sea-of-gate technology, will allow high resolution time measurements with digitization of 75 ps, and an unprecedented…

With the new generation of the RPC, it is possible to work with induced signals of hundreds $\mu V$, hence the front-end electronics is an important and delicate part of the detector in order to get a detectable signal. The electronic chain…

PUBLISHED ON IEEE/ASME TRANSACTIONS ON MECHATRONICS, DOI: 10.1109/TMECH.2021.3100150. Ideally, accurate sensor measurements are needed to achieve a good performance in the closed-loop control of mechatronic systems. As a consequence, sensor…

The upgrade of the ATLAS muon spectrometer for high-luminosity LHC requires new trigger and readout electronics for the various elements of the detector. We present the design of a time-to-digital converter (TDC) ASIC prototype for the…

During the last years the transfer of frequency signals through optical fibers has shown ultra low instabilities in various configurations. The outstanding experimental results of such point-to-point connections is motivation to develop a…

In the context of embedded systems design, two important challenges are still under investigation. First, improve real-time data processing, reconfigurability, scalability, and self-adjusting capabilities of hardware components. Second,…

Development of readout electronics for Time Projection Chamber for a Linear Collider is ongoing under stringent requirements on high channel density, lowest possible power consumption and small material budget. In the studied TPC readout…

The quantitative measurement of energy deposits in particle detectors, particularly in calorimeters, is usually accomplished with the help of Analog-to-Digital converters (ADCs) due to their precision, wide measurement range, and good…

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging method based on the measurement of concentrations of positron-emitting radionuclides in a living body. In the PET imaging system, glucose is labeled with a positron-emitting…

The purpose of this study was to show how advanced concepts of compact, lossless and "Time Of Flight" (TOF) capable electronics similar to those foreseen for the LHC and ILC experiments could be fairly and easily transferred to the medical…

High-precision time synchronization is a vital prerequisite for many modern applications and technologies, including Smart Grids, Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), and 5G networks. Although the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) can accomplish…

Object: It is increasingly popular to collect as much data as possible in the hospital setting from clinical monitors for research purposes. However, in this setup the data calibration issue is often not discussed and, rather, implicitly…

Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC) and time tagging of individual photon detections are powerful tools in many quantum optical experiments and other areas of applied physics. Using TCSPC, e.g., for the purpose of fluorescence…

The work presented here addresses the issue of tuning PD controllers for controlling integrating plus dead-time (IPDT) processes using settling time and gain and phase margin specifications. Tuning formulae are derived for PD controller…

In most digital-to-time converter (DTC) based applications, apart from maintaining low integral non-linearity (INL), it is also required of the system to achieve a wide frequency translation range. To achieve this performance, we present a…

The prototype of a TDC board has been developed for the new high granular time-of-flight neutron detector (HGND). The board is based on the standard LVDS 4x asynchronous oversampling using the xc7k160 FPGA with a 100 ps bin width. The HGND…
