ABSTRACT:
An improved signal processing method in a signal processor for performing the deconvolution of a signal resulting from an analytical separation process is disclosed. In a first aspect, a signal representing a plurality of partially separated sample zones is measured, a point-spread-function of the signal is determined, and the Fourier transform of the signal and the point-spread-function is taken. Next, a noise component n of the signal is determined and the value of a result signal A(f) is calculated using the following filter ##EQU1## where D(f) is the Fourier transform of the signal, P(f) is the Fourier transform of the point-spread-function, and P*(f) is the complex conjugate of P(i). Finally, the inverse Fourier transform of the result A(f) is taken and reported as A(t). Preferably, the point-spread function is a Gaussian function having a standard deviation .sigma., where .sigma. is determined using either an .alpha..beta. tracker or the function .sigma.=(a+bt.sup.2).sup.1/2, where a and b are constants. In a second aspect of the invention, a plurality of possible point-spread-functions of the signal are determined and the above-described method is applied using each PSF. The value of the largest point-spread-function which provides a nonnegative result is determined, and the associated value of A(t) is reported. In a third aspect of the invention, a program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by a machine to perform the method steps of the first or the second aspects of the invention is provided.
