Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed for detecting and measuring peak-to-peak values in an electrical input signal, the signal comprising at least one positive-going and one negative-going peak and can include waveforms characterized by short duration and fast rise time pulses. In operation, one of the at least one input signal peaks is referenced to a predetermined d.c. voltage level, such as, for example, 0 volts d.c., and an electrical output signal is generated which is representative of the magnitude of the input signal with respect to the predetermined d.c. voltage level. The output signal is generated by electrical circuitry capable of accurately tracking fast rise time pulses and then stretching the other unreferenced at least one peaks to prevent decay thereof.
