The diode partially removes the noise spikes from the high voltage circuit. This is the raw pulse at point A, about 2 V for 100 µs, then falling back to 0 V in the next several 100 µs. Remainings of the little noise spikes are still visible: + ![Raw pulse at point A](media/geiger-signal-raw.png) Here you can see the formed pulsed at point B, nearly 5 V for 200 µs: + ![Formed pulse at output point B](media/geiger-signal-formed.png) It is then feed into a 555 timer to further extend its duration for the ESP32 wake-up from low-power mode.
