Shane, what you are dealing with is group delay. You can find it described
in any filter literature. The low frequency components of the long periods
before and after the single pulse travel at a different rate than the high
frequency components of the pulse. This alters the pulse baseline and
shape. The isolated pulse will appear larger, and more unipolar than the
later training pulses which will be almost uniform about the origin, and
very close in shape to each other, as the system has stabilized.
Steve.
