Abstract
A method and apparatus for processing an analog signal before it is converted into steep-sided pulses wherein a variable D.C. voltage is generated whose variation is representative of the change in values of the negative-going portions of the analog signal. A voltage summing means receives on the one hand the analog signal and on the other hand the variable D.C. voltage to provide steep-sided output pulses in synchronization with the 'significant' portions of the analog signal.
