Signal timing extraction device and method

Abstract

The invention relates to a timed signal extraction device and method. The device comprises a trigger discriminating module, a baseline tracking module and a time analysis module; the trigger discriminating module determines whether deltaV(t) is an effective triggering signal according to the deltaV(t) and a baseline drift range V noise, when the deltaV(t) is an effective triggering signal, timed extraction in this time is started, the characteristic voltage deltaV(t)=F1(t)-F2(t), F1(t) represents a sampling signal, F2(t) represents a first time delay signal delayed for one period after the F1(t), and t represents a time variable; the baseline tracking calculates a baseline sampling value baseline for a sampling point of the F1(t); and the time analysis module determines an effective time point Tr according to F2(t), F1(t) and baseline. An ADC is used to carry out waveform digital collection on an output signal of the detector, a signal rising point is timed accurately, time is extracted, an error of the timed point can be overcome effectively, and the timing precision is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of time measurement, in particular to a signal timing extraction device and method. Background technique [0002] Time measurement is also a very important part in nuclear electronics. A lot of information about nuclear events exists in the output signal of nuclear radiation detectors in the form of time information, such as the lifetime of the excited state of the nucleus, the annihilation lifetime of the positron, etc., which is the time relationship between one nuclear state and another nuclear state. Appears as a distribution of the time interval between two signals. Therefore, in order to study the properties of the above-mentioned nuclear events, it is necessary to measure the time information carried by the detector output signal. [0003] Currently commonly used time measurement is mainly divided into two parts: timing discrimination and time-to-digital conversion TDC (Time-to-Digital Converter). The functi...
