Abstract
This study is aimed at exploring the details of various aspects of bui lding long microstrip ladders for future particle physics collider exp eriments. Several configurations of silicon microstrip detectors (up t o 64 cm in length) and two GaAs detectors were constructed and beam te sted using the Viking front end chip and a PC-based data acquisition s ystem allowing easy comparison and understanding of the results. Resul ts on cluster charge, signal-to-noise, resolutions, and efficiencies f or different configurations are presented and compared here.
