Principle of the Transmission-Line (TL) readout. Upon electron clouds arriving at a TL at time T0 and the location as indicated, two correlated pulses are generated and propagate toward the ends of the TL, where they are detected. By measuring the time difference, the interaction position along the TL can be inferred. The summed amplitude of the signals measured at the two ends yields the amplitude of the input signal. The average of the event times obtained at the ends (T1 and T2) gives the event time T0 (plus a constant offset).
