Abstract

A method for determining high intensity x-ray spectra from diagnostic x-ray units is described. The method combines direct measurements of low intensity, constant potential x-ray spectra with digitized measurements of current and voltage waveforms at high intensity to determine high intensity x-ray spectra. The effect of ripple in the voltage waveform on the resulting x-ray spectra is also shown.
