Abstract :
A method for generating an impulse train or a binary signal (random telegraph waveform) with pseudorandom Poisson statistics is described. It uses the properties of the binomial distribution to approach the Poisson distribution in the limit. A simple digital-hardware implementation, based on this method, is presented, and some test results are given.
