Abstract

The properties of digital modules (analog-to-digital converters (ADC), digital signal processor (DSP)) in spectrometric chain are the decisive factors which affect the quality of spectrometric measurements. Several properties, integral and differential linearity, channel profiles and throughput, of various ADC and DSP models by CANBERRA were tested.
