Publisher's Synopsis
The information in all electronic systems is carried by waves. This text and reference explains the various fundamental techniques of wave-forming and processing in pulse circuits, and illustrates their application in three widely used wave- processing systems: television, pulse-height analysers and time- of-flight mass spectrometers. New applications are addressed, including the digital modulator for simultaneous transmission of three signals, modulation and detection in optical fiber systems and the 100-channel 10 pulse-height analyzer. The book is well- illustrated and contains many worked examples and up-to-date references.
