Amplifier effect on the signal

Ortec 474 timing filter amplifier amplifies the signal from the trigger output.The amplification will make a shift in the channel number compared to the same signal without application. To determine exactly the shift in channel number after the amplification, a choice for an input signal amplitude to charge the ADC just above noise, then amplifying the same input then recording the channel number (if possible). For example, generating a pulse of 0.1 V amplitude with an offset of 0.06 V using stanford research system pulse generator DG535 will hit channel 291 +_0.34 (run#4829), after the amplification it hits channel number 3767 +_0.78. Input pulse for the attenuator is 1.80V +_ 0.045, and the attenuator output pulse is 222 +_ 2.5 mV (factor of 8.1) when is set on 17.5 dB.

Measurements Notes

1- The slope of the calibration curve as the ADC is connected to the battery with the positive terminal grounded is 178 pC.

2- The ADC manual manual mentioned 100pC gain/count, does count = channel? Also it is measures max. tolerate voltage >25 mV with +_ 2 mV as maximum voltage offset, the battery provides 14.4 mV offset, Does the ADC measure that the battery voltage or consider it more that the offset limit and measure only within the offset limit?


Today 05/31 the equipment moved to the LDS to start our measurements but I am still thinking how to improve our calibration curve measurements to get the right slope.


Bat. grounded 6/2/13

Measuring the grounded positive terminal battery output again in the LDS, V= 14.7 mV measured by the oscilloscope. (R= 5kohm, V=1.5, I= 1.5/5kohm = 0.3 mA, oscilloscope channel 2 is 46 ohm terminated, then V = 46*0.3mA = 13.8 mV). The ADC noise level in channel 5 (signal channel) is 63 (run #5162) which is 42.1 ohm terminated.

2 Amp's +Att8 06/09/13

Amplified x6 level 6 fine gain, P.S. 777 and attenuated 8 dB

Stanford pulse generator is used as source for a negative pulse of width of 892 ns +/- 4, and the gate width is 33.6 ns +/- 0.6 . all the voltage measurement is recorded by using oscilloscope CH2 which is 46 ohm terminated. So the amplifier input current is (input signal amplitude/46)
