Abstract

A new technique for generating an approximate replica of Gaussian pulses with good accuracy is proposed and investigated. The Gaussian function is approximated with a waveform that results from the convolution of two triangles. The proposed pulse performs better than other previously reported pulse. The results show good agreement not only for the Gaussian pulse but also for its first and second derivatives. As the triangular pulse generator is standard and widely used, the proposed technique needs besides it an appropriate filter.
