Abstract
Apparatus for processing broadband impulses signals of low repetition rate includes a tuner for receiving broadband impulsive signals of low repetition rate and providing an output signal characteristic of the amplitude and spectral content of the received input signal. Resolution bandwidth filters coupled to the tuner output each have a different bandwidth that determines the measurement resolution and influences the sensitivity and transient response to low repetition rate impulsive signals. At least one radio frequency switch selects a resolution bandwidth filter for coupling to and associated one of at least a peak detector, an average detector and an envelope generator. A gate generator coupled to the peak detector, the average detector and the envelope generator furnishes a gating signal to each to provide a peak signal, an average signal and an envelope signal respectively during a selected gating interval. A microprocessor is coupled to the peak detector and the average detector.
