Abstract

A method of providing real time digital pulse shaping includes: receiving a digital pulse input signal ( 31 ); applying the digital pulse input signal to first ( 33, 34, 35 ) and second ( 32, 36, 37 ) processing channels, the first processing channel including a CONCAVE shaper ( 34 ) and the second processing channel including a CONVEX shaper ( 36 ); applying selected digital control parameters to the CONCAVE shaper ( 34 ) and the CONVEX shaper ( 36 ) to produce desired first and second weigthing functions, and superposing the first and second weighting functions to produce a desired overall weighting function.

Claims (5)

1. A method of providing real time digital pulse shaping, comprising:

(a) receiving a digitized pulse signal from a radiation detector;

(b) applying said digitized pulse signal to first and second processing channels, said first processing channel including a digitally synthesizing CONCAVE shaper and said second processing channel including a digitally synthesizing CONVEX shaper;

(c) applying selected digital control parameters to said digitally synthesizing CONCAVE shaper and said digitally synthesizing CONVEX shaper to produce desired first and second weighting functions; and

(d) superposing said first and second weighting functions to produce a desired overall weighting function.
