Abstract
A pulse repetition frequency (PRF) detection system is provided for indicating the existence of pulse trains having predetermined repetition frequencies in a composite signal containing pulse trains of different pulse repetition frequencies. The system includes a plurality of independent sorters to which the composite signal is sequentially applied. Each of the sorters is operable to detect a pulse train having a predetermined pulse repetition frequency, to indicate the detection, and to produce pulses for inhibiting or blocking the application of the corresponding pulses of the composite signal on a pulse-by-pulse basis. The sorters may be arranged and interconnected in a decreasing order of frequency detection whereby the signal applied to each successive sorter has all higher frequency detected pulse trains removed therefrom.
