Abstract
In order to answer to the requirements of some groups of work destined to carry out studies about soil density and position of steel bars in reinforced cement, using NaI solid scintillation detectors, the electronics required by this type of detectors has been designed and implemented. In this first phase, the construction and test of the 5 modules that constitute the spectrometry chain-which has a digital control: high-tension source, amplifier, control interphase, analog to digital converter (ADC) and multichannel analyzers (MCA) storage logic-were finished. For the development of the operation tests, a compatible computer was used, while the construction of the control logic was finished. This control logic, linked to the implemented analog phases, will provide a totally portable system. The system was evaluated, generating the spectra of some well-known radioactive samples using a 2 inch x 2 inch scintillation detector, having as a result a total resolution of 8,6% (related to the photopeak of Cs-137) The ADC Wilkinson type has a maximum resolution of 2048 channels. Because of the fulfillment of the above-mentioned studies with backscattered beams, all the related electronics was designed considering this criterion. That is why neither base line restoration circuits nor piling-up rebound circuits were

By the same reason and in order to avoid the unnecessary complexity and the high cost of the electronics circuits, the ADC operates at a relatively low frequency of 16 MHz.
