High-speed single-photoelectron detection for Cherenkov astronomy
Luca Giangrande, Matthieu Heller, Teresa Montaruli
Silicon photomultipliers are increasingly replacing photomultiplier tubes in Cherenkov telescope cameras, but achieving single-photoelectron resolution with nanosecond timing in a…
A 200 dB Dynamic Range Radiation-Hard Delta-Sigma Current Digitizer for Beam Loss Monitoring
Luca Giangrande
This manuscript describes a radiation-hardened current-mode delta-sigma ADC fabricated in a standard 130 nm CMOS technology and qualified for total ionizing doses up to 100 Mrad. T…
Continuous and Discrete-Time Filters: A Unified Operational Perspective
Luca Giangrande
Continuous time (CT) and discrete time (DT) linear time invariant (LTI) systems are commonly introduced through distinct mathematical formalisms, which can obscure their underlying…
Lambda/6 Suspended Patch Antenna
Luca Giangrande
This work introduces a novel, compact antenna design based on a lambda-6th suspended patch configuration that is particularly suited for small-size wireless sensor nodes. The propo…
FANSIC: a Fast ANalog SiPM Integrated Circuit for the readout of large silicon photomultipliers
Luca Giangrande, Matthieu Heller, Yannick Favre +1
Silicon photo-multipliers (SiPM) have been replacing traditional photomultiplier tubes in most light sensing applications. However, when large detection surface coverage is needed,…
