Abstract
Recursive algorithms for real-time digital pulse shaping in pulse heig ht measurements have been developed. The differentiated signal from th e preamplifier (exponential pulse) is amplified and then digitized. Di gital data are deconvolved so that the response of the high-pass netwo rk is eliminated. The deconvolved pulse is processed by a time-invaria nt digital filter which allows trapezoidal/triangular or cusp-like sha pes to be synthesized. A prototype of a digital trapezoidal processor was built which is capable of sampling and processing digital data in real time at clock rates up to 50 MHz.
