abstract = {On a very fundamental level, particle detectors share
similar requirements for their read-out chain. This is
reflected in the way that typical read-out solutions are
developed, where a previous design is modified to fit
changes in requirements. One of the two common approaches is
the current-based read-out, where the waveform of the sensor
output is sampled in order to later extract information in
the central processing unit. This approach is used in many
detector applications using scintillation based detectors,
including PET. With this contribution, we will introduce how
we use Matlab in order to simulate the read-out electronics
of particle detectors. We developed this simulation approach
as a base for our ongoing development of software-defined
read-out Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs)
that cover the requirements of a variety of particle
detector types. Simulink was chosen as a base for our
developments as it allows simulation of mixed-signal systems
and comes with built-in toolkits to aid in developments of
such systems. With our approach, we want to take a new look
at how we approach designing such a read-out, with a focus
on digital signal processing closer to the sensor in order
or reduce transmission bandwidth, making use of known signal
characteristics and modern methods of communications
engineering. We are taking into account the time profile of
an event, the bandwidth-limiting properties of the sensor
and attached electronics, digitization stages and finally
the parameterization of approaches for digital processing of
the signal. We will show how we are applying the design
approach to the development of a read-out for the proposed
SHiP SBT detector, which is a scintillation based detector
relying on SiPMs sensors, using this as an example for our
modelling approach and show preliminary results. Given the
similarity in principle, the modelling approach could easily
be modified for PET systems, allowing studies of the
read-out chain to possibly gain in overall performance.},
