The task of analog front-end electronics in beam instrumentation is to optimize the useful information content of the signal delivered by an instrument. It must suppress signal components that do not contribute to the measured quantity. It must filter to put bounds on bandwidth and possibly dynamic range, to relax the demands made of subsequent processing stages. It must minimize noise, reject interference and match the signal to transmission media and digital acquisition equipment. Since the circuitry must often operate in radio-active areas, the accent is on passive electronics.

“…Fortunately, it has been demonstrated that for a typical LHC transmission rate of 40 Mbit/s, transmission distortions can be successfully compensated with passive filters known as impedance equalisers [2]. It was found that signal transmission based on the LVDS provides a good signal integrity over distances of 100 metres and above, using passive filters [3][4][5]. Despite these promising results, a more systematic test was needed to verify the quality of signal transmission for ALICE applications.…”

In the ALICE experiment, the Low-Voltage Differential Signalling (LVDS) format is used for the transmission of trigger inputs from the detectors to the Central Trigger Processor (CTP), the L0 trigger outputs from Local Trigger Units (LTU) boards back to the detectors and the BUSY inputs from the sub-detectors to the CTP. ALICE has designed a set-up, called the LVDS transmission tester, that aims to measure various transmission quality parameters and the bit-error rate (BER) for long period runs in an automatic way. In this paper, this method is described and the conclusions from these tests for the ALICE LVDS cables are discussed.
