A Gaussian Impulse Generator and Its Applications

Abstract

For the statistical treatment of the problems of quality control and reliability, it is essential to consider the normal distribution. This paper reports a normal distribution signal generator (Gaussian pulse generator) and its applications to those problems. From the theoretical analysis, it has become clear that convolution of some kind of distibution functions can be performed by a integrator with suitable pulse delay circuits.
Using the above mentioned technique, a new type Gaussian pulse generator is constructed. As an example of the applications of this device, a method performing convolution of two normal distributions is shown. A circuit for checking agreement between a measured histogram and a theoretical normal distribution is also shown in this paper.
