Abstract
The present invention is directed to systems and methods for analyzing high and low values in a period waveform in a manner that is applicable and accurate for both pulse-shaped waveforms and non-pulse-shaped waveforms. In an example implementation, a processor is adapted to generate a waveform histogram of the signal with weighted data samples, and to determine from the waveform histogram the high and low values in the waveform. Other aspects of the invention involve various manners in obtaining the weighted data samples.
