Pulse shaping,which improves signal-to-noise ratio excellently,has been extensively used in nuclear signal processing.This paper presents a cusp-like pulse-shaping technique developed through the recursive difference equation in time domain.It can be implemented in field programmable gate array hardware system.Another flat-topped cusp-like shaper is developed to optimize the time constant of pulse shaping and reduce the influence of ballistic deficit.The methods of both baseline restoration and pile-up rejection are described.The ~(137)Cs energy spectra measured with the digital cusp-like shaper are 6.6% energy resolution,while those by traditional analog pulse shaper are 7.2% energy resolution,under the same conditions.This technique offers flexibility,too,in adjusting the pulse shaper parameters.
