Modular Digitization Platform for High-Speed Acquisition of Analog Signals in the Tens of GS/s Range
A modular high-speed digitization platform has been developed for precise acquisition of ultra-fast analog signals from modern particle detectors. The system is intended for applications in high-energy physics and time-of-flight measurements, where high temporal resolution and reliable operation at high event rates are required. The platform is based on state-of-the-art high-speed analog-to-digital converters and FPGA-based data processing. It supports sampling rates in the tens of GS/s range and enables further performance enhancement through interleaved sampling of synchronized modules, allowing scalable channel configurations and improved temporal resolution while maintaining system modularity. High-speed data transfer is implemented using modern serial interfaces, enabling integration into distributed data acquisition systems. The functionality of the system was verified on a prototype using both controlled sine-wave test signals and real signals from a fast photomultiplier tube. The results demonstrate reliable digitization of nanosecond-scale pulses and confirm the capability of the platform to capture high-rate events, including the observation of signal pile-up effects. Future development will focus on extending FPGA firmware functionality, implementing advanced on-board signal processing, and integrating additional analog front-end circuitry to further expand the applicability of the platform in high-precision timing and detector readout applications.
