  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. Prototypical circuits of a low-power gated integrator for use with germanium gamma-ray spectrometers in remote locations have been developed. The gated integrator is constructed from three very simple subcircuits. With a power consumption of <200 mW, the low count rate spectroscopy performance is comparable to that of a conventional modern pulse shaping amplifier at energies of 1 MeV and greater
