A Method to Measure the Signal Amplitude Probability Density Function Avoiding the Influence of Differential Non-Linearity of ADC

摘要

This paper presents a new method to measure the discrete probability density function (p.d.f.) of an ergodic random path avoiding the influence of differentioal non-linearity of applied ADC. This method is useful to measure the precise p.d.f. by using the successive approximation type ADC or the flash type ADC. The most important field to apply is the radiation pulse height analysis.
