Patent ID: 8803723

Claim:
A method of operating a pulsed input system, the method comprising: receiving a pulsed analog signal carrying a signal of interest; amplifying the received pulsed signal using an amplifier to form an amplified pulsed signal having a high side and a low side; sampling the amplified pulsed signal of the high side and the low side at a pulse rate of each pulse and at a first sample duration to form a first sampled signal; sampling the amplified pulsed signal of the high side and the low side at a pulse rate of each pulse and at a first sample duration to form a second sampled signal; filtering the first input sampled signal that transitions between the high side and the low side; filtering the first sampled signal that transitions between the high side and the low side; sampling the filtered first input sample signal at an intermediate output sample rate and an output sample duration to form a first sampled intermediate output signal having a high side and a low side; sampling the filtered second sample signal at the inner output sample rate and the output sample duration to form a second intermediate sampled output signal having a high side and a low side, wherein an output of each intermediate sampling is conveyed to an inverting and non-inverting input of analog to digital converter, and converting the first and second sampled intermediate output signals to a digital output signal using an analog to digital converter.
