DSP Implementation of Neutron Radiation Detection Based on Kalman Filter

Abstract

Aiming at the situation of nuclear neutron pulse count distortion and low measurement accuracy, a digital processing chip and Kalman filter are designed to replace the traditional hardware filtering method. The system uses TMS320F28335 as the main control chip, and takes advantage of the DSP-specific digital signal processing chip. After using the extended Kalman filter to reduce the noise and filter the pulse neutron count, the experiment proves that the nuclear pulse neutron count measurement after the extended Kalman filter process is stable, and the measurement accuracy has been significantly improved. The overall structure and working principle of the system are introduced, and specific hardware and software design schemes are given.
