Abstract

In this paper, a procedure is proposed to computer simulate the electronic noise of ionizing-radiation spectrometers. The viewpoint of the simulator is the output of the preamplifier, with or without an anti-aliasing filter, just in front of the ADC. Examples are given for the case of segmented high purity Germanium detectors (HPGe). The method makes use of the fractional calculus basics. A software procedure provides the noisy waveform as a function of the fundamental electrical-physical parameters of the system, including: detector capacitance, detector leakage current, feedback resistor, 1/f-noise coefficient of the input transistor, temperature of the preamplifier input devices. The ADC quantization noise is also included in the simulation.
