Calculation of confidence intervals for high-voltage impulse reconstruction

An algorithm designed to calculate confidence intervals for solutions to ill-posed problems subject to unequality constraints is applied to the calculation of confidence intervals for a high-voltage impulse distorted by a divider system. Applications of the method to measurements made with resistive and capacitive dividers illustrate its value for obtaining useful stochastic error bounds for high-voltage impulse restoration. The technique can be useful for sensors with a directly measurable unit step response. For other dividers its utility has been adequately demonstrated
