Abstract
An electronic warfare radio receiver of the monobit type wherein the signal processing circuitry, including a bandpass filter array, analog to digital converter circuit and Fourier transformation circuit, are located in a plurality of parallel-disposed but isolated receiver channels. The parallel disposed receiver channels limit interference between received signals and enable the customary processing of two simultaneous input signals of differing signal strength in each receiver channel; this increases the number of simultaneous input signals processable by a factor equaling the number of receiver channels used. Single chip embodiment of the receiver is disclosed thereby tending to compensate for the added complexity of the channelized processing. Signals falling in digital filter overlap regions are addressed by the invention.
