Preliminary Analysis and Test Results for Circuit Cards in X-Ray and Gamma Ray Environments.

Abstract

The measured response of typical circuit cards and simplified circuit cards to ionizing radiation is examined. As in previous tests, the response to the gama rays is found to be reasonably well understood. The anomalous response to x rays is again observed during and after biasing. For the simplified card, these anomalies are reasonably well understood; however, this is not true for cards with more complex geometries. Methods for understanding the response of the more complex cards are discussed. Keywords: Circuit Card; Gamma Ray; Radiation Effects; and X rays.
