  • Abstract
    This paper presents the design and testing results of a computational radiation sensor. The design utilizes a dedicated microcontroller to perform computation and data aggregation on the sensor head to reduce the information bit rate. A low-power charge sensitive amplifier and ADC complete the design. The design was implemented in a 0.35 µm CMOS technology with field tests demonstrating the validity of the approaches taken.
