Waveform digitizers are key readout instruments in particle physics experiments. In this paper, we present a waveform digitizer for the PandaX dark matter experiments. It supports both external-trigger readout and triggerless readout,…

We have designed, implemented and tested a time-to-digital converter core in a low-cost Spartan-6 FPGA. Our design exploits the finite propagation speed in carry chains to realize a delay line in which the propagation distance of the…

The phase noise of low-noise oscillators is conventionally measured by the cross-spectrum method (CSM), which has a complicated setup. We developed an alternative method called zero-crossing analysis with a double recorder setup (ZCA-DRS)…

We present a fast general-purpose algorithm for high-throughput clustering of data "with a two dimensional organization". The algorithm is designed to be implemented with FPGAs or custom electronics. The key feature is a processing time…

We describe an FPGA-based, 96-channel, time-to-digital converter (TDC) intended for use with the Central Outer Tracker (COT) in the CDF Experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. The COT system is digitized and read out by 315 TDC cards, each…

We present an end-to-end simulation and data-processing framework for digital beamforming experiments conducted with four stations of the 21 Centimeter Array (21CMA). Motivated by the need to characterize instrumental systematics, such as…

In this paper we present a novel high-resolution multi-channel FPGA-based time-to-digital converter (TDC). We designed and implemented a complex electronic circuit on the FPGA, whose overall accuracy is several orders of magnitude greater…

This technical note is on digital filters for the high-fidelity estimation of a sinusoidal signal's frequency in the presence of additive noise. The complex noise is assumed to be white (i.e. uncorrelated) however it need not be Gaussian.…

The core architecture, tests in the lab and first results of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) spectrometer are described. It is based on a commercially available fast digital sampler (AC240) with an on-board Field Programmable Gate Array…

Deep Neural Networks are becoming the de-facto standard models for image understanding, and more generally for computer vision tasks. As they involve highly parallelizable computations, CNN are well suited to current fine grain programmable…

Several analog-to-digital conversion methods for bandlimited signals used in applications, such as Sigma Delta quantization schemes, employ coarse quantization coupled with oversampling. The standard mathematical model for the error accrued…

The SeaQuest experiment (Fermilab E906) detects pairs of energetic {\mu}+ and {\mu}- produced in 120 GeV/c proton-nucleon interactions in a high rate environment. The trigger system consists of several arrays of scintillator hodoscopes and…

We report on the development of a novel FPGA-based Time-to-Digital Converter and its implementation in a detection chain that records the coordinates of single particles along three dimensions. The detector is composed of Micro-Channel…

Context: Radio astronomical receivers are now expanding their frequency range to cover large (octave) fractional bandwidths for sensitivity and spectral flexibility, which makes the design of good analogue circular polarizers challenging.…

NUMEXO2 is a 16 channels 14bit/200MHz digitizer and processing board initially developed for gamma-ray spectroscopy (for EXOGAM: EXOtic nuclei GAMma ray). Numexo2 has been gradually extended and improved as a general purpose digitizer to…

A high-resolution time-to-digital converter (TDC) based on wave union (four-edge WU A), dual-sampling, and sub-TDL methods is proposed and implemented in a 16-nm Xilinx UltraScale+ field-programmable gate array (FPGA). We combine WU and…

We propose a least-squares phase-stepping algorithm (LS-PSA) consisting of only 14 steps for high-quality optical plate testing. Optical plate testing produces an infinite number of simultaneous fringe patterns due to multiple reflections.…

Two-channel modulo analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) enable high-dynamic-range signal sensing at the Nyquist rate per channel, but existing designs quantise both channel outputs independently, incurring redundant bitrate costs. This paper…

1 ps timing resolution is the entry point to signature based searches relying on secondary/tertiary vertices and particle identification. We describe a preliminary design for PSEC5, an 8-channel 40 GS/s waveform-sampling ASIC in the TSMC 65…

The TRIDENT (Tropical Deep-sea Neutrino Telescope) experiment is a next-generation underwater neutrino observatory planned for deployment in the West Pacific Ocean, designed to detect astrophysical neutrinos through Cherenkov radiation. The…
