\begin{abstract}
Presently, the MAGIC telescope uses a 300~MHz FADC system to sample the transmitted and shaped signals from 
the captured Cherenkov light of air showers.
In this note. different algorithms to reconstruct the signal from the read out samples 
are described and compared. Criteria for comparison are defined and used to judge the 
different extractors applied to calibration signals, cosmics and pedestals. At the end, 
a digital filter fitting the signal over four FADC slices is proposed as the best extractor. 
The question of pedestal calculation for the different extractors is adressed. The digital filter 
is used to extract and fit single photo-electron pulses from the night sky background.
