Abstract

A functional approach to the concept of pulse shape synthesis introduced here. This paper reviews some of the mechanisms influencing the process of signal induction, and the solution of electric field and charge carriers drift phenoma are considered for abritrary crystal geometries. Then, preforming some well known principles and a set of simple techniques provides an open way to the implementation of pulse shape analysis algorithms.
