Abstract
A falsing protection circuit for preventing the false triggering of an alarm system or the like by extraneous randomly occurring pulses includes a pulse extractor circuit that is nonresponsive to a predetermined number of initial pulses in a pulse train but responds to subsequent pulses in the train, thereby making the alarm system responsive only to pulse trains containing numerous pulses of the type encountered during actual alarm conditions. Pulse shaping circuitry is included in the pulse extractor circuit for extending all short pulses to a minimum length and for passing all pulses longer than the minimum length at their true length. This effectively prevents a burst of short pulses occurring during the minimum length interval from falsely triggering the system.
