The proposed algorithm is able to adjust automatically and in real-time the coefficients for shaping an input signal. A practical prototype was designed, implemented and tested on a PowerPC 405 embedded in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Lastly, its performance and capabilities were measured using simulations and a neutron monitor. %K Spectroscopy %K Noise %K Shaping %K Adaptive %K Digital signal processing %K Simulated annealing %K Telecomunicaciones %K Telecommunication %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
