Accurate signal sampling and reconstruction are crucial in various signal-processing applications. A time-domain signal's spectrum can be revealed using its Fourier transform. When this signal is sampled at a specific frequency, it results in multiple scaled replicas of the original spectrum in the frequency domain. The spacing of these replicas is determined by the sampling frequency.
If the sampling frequency is below the Nyquist rate, these replicas overlap, preventing the original...

Managing signal sampling rates is essential in digital signal processing to maintain signal integrity. A decimated signal, characterized by a reduced frequency range due to its lower sampling rate, can be upsampled by inserting zeros between each sample. This upsampling process expands the original spectrum and introduces repeated spectral replicas at intervals dictated by the new Nyquist frequency. To refine this zero-inserted sequence, it is passed through a lowpass filter with a cutoff...

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Physics
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) is a real-time technique for industrial material composition analysis.
  • Existing PGNAA systems are limited by detector decay time, restricting average count rates to approximately 100 kcps.
  • Short measuring times (around 120 s) necessitate faster data acquisition to reduce statistical errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel data acquisition system for PGNAA.
  • To achieve a high count rate and real-time digital processing for PGNAA.
  • To overcome the limitations of traditional multi-channel analyzers (MCAs) in terms of count rate and dead time.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of an electrical technique to increase the average count rate.
  • Reduction of dead time in the data acquisition process.
  • Development of a real-time digital processing method for PGNAA data.

Main Results:

  • The developed system achieves an average count rate exceeding 500 kcps.
  • The system effectively reduces dead time compared to standard ORTEC MCAs.
  • Good accuracy is maintained despite the increased count rate.

Conclusions:

  • The new data acquisition system significantly improves PGNAA efficiency.
  • The enhanced count rate accelerates spectrum accumulation and reduces statistical errors.
  • This advancement enables more precise and rapid industrial material analysis using PGNAA.
