Abstract
In a channelized receiver there is dual pulse present detection in which an RF signal is converted to a digital word and there are dual digital thresholds, each digital threshold having a programmable standard for determining when a pulse is present after said pulse has exceeded the particular threshold value and for determining which pulse will be reported based on which pulse arrived first. The invention also involves arbitration between adjacent channels in a channelized receiver to determine which signals are real and which signals represent spill-over energy from signals in adjacent channels and also including arbitration between spatial sectors to determine which signals are real and which signal represents spill-over energy from adjacent sectors.
