An active terminating pre-amplifier for delay line readout systems
Abstract
A preamplifier specifically designed for use with artificial delay lines in positional readout systems. The preamplifier provides an active delay line termination which gives reduced noise compared with simple resistive termination whilst maintaining the signal rise time to allow optimum timing discriminator performance. Test results show a significant improvement in resolution compared with resistive terminated systems.
