Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
For digital signal processing (Digital Signal Processing
DSP) there are three
independent signal processing channels. To each channel belongs a specific
analog-digital converter. This network concept allows analyzing the entering
preamplifier signals simultaneously according to three different feature
complexes.
Channel 1 is the spectrometric channel of the AlphaGUARD. Here, there is not only
a signal characterization according to the pulse depth, but also a classification
according to the pulse form. The result of this pulse analysis is a three
-dimensional
spectra. Along the X-axis there is a classification of the pulse depth, e.g. of the
adjacent alpha energy. By the Y-coordinate the number of pulses per unit of time
is described. The Z-coordinate stands for the classes of pulse forms.

Because of this complex pulse characterization, a highly effective differentiation
between real alpha events and different interference effects is possible (for
example: microphonic phenomena).
Signal processing via channel 2 is only effected with higher radon concentrations.
The dimensioning of the used band pass filter grants that the amplitude of the
