Abstract
In a noise reduction circuit, a sampling pulse is generated for opening a switch in time-coincident relationship with a signal portion which is affected by a noise impulse. During tracking modes the signal is passed through the switch to a junction between a capacitor and a noninverting amplifier to charge the capacitor to the level of the signal. During a sampling mode the switch is open to block the signal. A feedback circuit having plural time constant values is connected between the output and input of the amplifier to provide primary and secondary differentiation of the output signal of the amplifier. The feedback circuit is disabled during tracking modes to enable the amplifier to linearly amplify the voltage developed across the capacitor and is enabled during the sampling mode to differentiate the voltage that occurred immediately before the switch is turned off for application to the input of the amplifier for linearly interpolating the noise-affected portion of the signal.
