A signal processor for use in a small, lightweight radar-guided missile to provide a discrete Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) on received radar return signals. The radar return signal are converted into a sequence of binary digits enabling a simple decoder to perform complex addition and subtraction processing, thereby minimizing the space and complexity of the signal processor.
