Performance analysis and testing of LYSO-SiPM X-ray communication receiver

This paper introduces the characteristics of the LYSO-SiPM-based receiver used in X-ray communication (XCOM). The X-ray signal receiving scheme based on a scintillator and photodetector is an important part of the XCOM system. However, the inherent characteristics of the scintillator and photodetector hinder the improvement of the performance of the X-ray signal receiver. Thus, this paper proposes a comprehensive analysis model for modeling the counting statistical characteristics of the LYSO-SiPM-based receiver, and analyzes the effects of the receiver's characteristics on the communication performance of the OOK-modulated XCOM system. Furthermore, the LYSO-SiPM pulse X-ray signal receiver is optimized, and its performance in the XCOM experiment is tested. The experimental results are consistent with the theoretical analysis trend, indicating that the proposed analytical model can be used for XCOM performance analysis and optimization.
