Zusammenfassung: | Commercial multi-channel energy spectrometers have good performance, they
have multiple input signal channels and multi-channel analyzers, which can
simultaneously acquire the energy spectrum of multiple nuclear pulse
signals. But the input signal channel of this general multi-channel energy
spectrometer cannot be switched between the internal multi-channel analyzers, and an input signal channel can only be fixed to the corresponding
multi-channel analyzers. Hence, to resolve this issue, this paper designed
a nuclear pulse signal array switching circuit. The core of the array
switching circuit is a switch array chip with low internal resistance and
high bandwidth, which controls the signal connection between the input
signal channel with the multi-channel analyzers. Using 137Cs and uranium ore
as radioactive sources, the energy spectrum test and spectrum data
analysis were carried out using a NaI detector, respectively, when the
nuclear pulse signal passed through and did not pass through the array
switching circuit. The results showed that the circuit demonstrates little
effect on the energy resolution and linearity of the multi-channel analyzers
but causes a small drift of the high-energy photopeak, and improve the
reliability of the circuit by energy spectrum data accumulation. This
circuit can make the application of a multi-channel energy spectrometers
more flexible and reliable. |
