Tiivistelmä
This work deals with the emulation of the radiation detection device "Geiger-Mueller tube". Therefore a combination of hard- and software simulates a radiation source and measures its output accordingly to a real Geiger-Mueller tube.
In detail: A software implemented random number generator creates events which are counted by a hardware module running on a Xilinx FPGA. Within this thesis the phenomenon radioactivity is explained and different detection methods are shown. Also certain embedded design principles are described. furthermore the architecture and realization of the radiation generator and the emulator are declared.
