  • Abstract
    A compact setup for generation of pulses emulating radiation sources events is presented. The core of the system is constituted by a digital configurable device (e.g. a field programmable gate array - FPGA) that guarantees adaptability to different simulated sources and operative conditions without hardware changes but only updating the firmware. The emulator has been prototyped and tested.
