A New Pulse Amplitude-Discriminator Circuit
E.H. Cooke-Yarborough · Journal of Scientific Instruments · 1949
A circuit is described which discriminates against pulses smaller than those it is desired to count and which provides a known constant dead time, enabling counting losses to be accurately determined without complete knowledge of the resolving time of other equipment in the counting chain. These counting losses are calculated and the condition whereby the counting rate is independent of the input pulse width is deduced.
