A Weighted Least Mean Squares Linear Algorithm for Energy and Occurrence Time Measurement of Pulse

The availability of high performance configurable digital processors offers the possibility of real-time implementation of digital least-mean-square analysis methods in nuclear spectroscopy. A particularly simple, efficient and highly precise technique for reducing the mathematical complexity of least-mean-square algorithms used in deriving energy and arrival time of detected events is presented. The method has been theoretically developed and validated through comparison with state-of-the-art digital signal processing techniques.
