Abstract
A crystal video receiver having CW and pulse detection capability includes a threshold signal generator which switchably provides fixed and noise riding threshold signals, used to determine initial signal detection. Track and hold circuits provide a second threshold, derived from the peak received signal level, for establishing the termination of received video pulses. A pulse width counter is coupled to determine the time a received pulse signal is between the two thresholds and is set to overflow at a predetermined time after the reception of a signal to establish a pulse representative of a received CW signal and to prevent receiver lock up.
