Abstract
A variable decision threshold apparatus includes a comparator for receiving the electrical signal and for comparing it to a threshold level. A signal strength monitor monitors the strength of the electrical signal and a scaler scales the decision threshold level to the measured amplitude of the electrical signal so that the percentage set as the threshold level is maintained.
