We use GEANT Monte Carlo code to design an outline of the geometry and simulate the performance of the ARgentine Gamma-ray Observer (ARGO), a telescope based on silicon strip detector technology. The γ-ray direction is determined by geometrical means and the angular resolution is calculated for small variations of the basic design. The results show that the angular resolutions vary from a few degrees at low energies (~ 50 MeV) to 0.2°, approximately, at high energies (> 500 MeV). We also made simulations using as incoming γ-ray the energy spectrum of PKS0208 - 512 and PKS0528 + 134 quasars. Moreover, a method based on multiple scattering theory is also used to determine the incoming energy. We show that this method is applicable to energy spectrum.
