The efficiency and energy resolution of the Composite and Segmented Ge
detectors used in in-beam experiments depend on the proper realization of
the add-back mode and Doppler correction. Digital processing of the
detector signals [1] provides means to implement the required signal shape
analysis. However, a huge processing power is needed to perform the digital
analysis on-line. Therefore, a dedicated processing method has been
worked-out. It utilizes pipe-line systolic processing and time-variant
decimation. An Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) as a
pre-processor and a DSP module as a post-processor have been
designed based on these techniques. The method and its
implementations as well as its integration in the main processing
stream is discussed.
