Description

I will present the development of a new prototype wireless data acquisition system with the intended application to read-out instrumentation systems having thousands of channels. The data acquisition and control is based on a compliant implementation of 802.11 based hardware and protocols. Our case study is for large detectors containing photomultiplier tubes. We have explored both free-space optical and radio frequency options for wireless power transfer. The front-end circuitry, including a high-voltage power supply is powered wirelessly thus creating an all-wireless detector readout. We have successfully tested the system as a single detector module that is power wirelessly and then sends data wirelessly. I will cover the performance of this all-wireless prototype system and how a large scale implementation of the system might be realized.
