The 'Median' Method for the Reduction of Noise and Trigger Jitter on Waveform Data

Published

Author(s)

Nicholas Paulter, Donald R. Larson

Abstract

The 'median' method for the reduction of the effect of noise and trigger jitter on waveform data is described. The effectiveness of this method was examined using simulations and experiments and, for typical jitter and noise observed in electrical pulse metrology, is shown to provide reconstructed waveforms with transition durations that accurately match those of the input signal. Also, for aberrations, an upper bound on the error in the amplitude of the aberration is provided
