Appeal No. 1997-1174
Application 08/353,681
a converting means for converting said analog signal into
a digital signal where said digital signal is comprised of a
series of digital samples;
processing means for processing each of said digital
samples into a compensated sample where the resulting series
of compensated samples form said compensated signal, said
compensated signal being a digitized representation of said
analog signal compensated for baseline shift and asymmetry
where said compensated signal has digitized positive peaks and
digitized negative peaks of a defined absolute digital value,
said processing means includes:
a baseline correction means responsive to a digital
sample from said converting means for generating a
digital baseline corrected sample from said digital sample;
and
an asymmetry correction means responsive to the
baseline corrected sample from said baseline
correction means for generating the digital compensated
signal having positive and negative peaks of a defined
absolute amplitude and no baseline shift.
