Abstract
A reception system including a receiver coupled to a processing means, the receiver comprising a number N of antennas, each being able to pick up signals representative of incident waves and to deliver a pulse dependent on said signal, N being an integer. Said receiver includes: N delay lines respectively coupled to each of said N antennas, each delay line being able to delay the signal delivered by the antenna with which it is associated by its own time delay, a coupling means able to sum the N signals delivered by the N delay lines, so as to deliver an output signal comprising a series of N time-shifted pulses. The processing means includes a measurement means able to measure the signal delivered by the coupling means and to deliver as output a signal formed by measurement samples, representative of the N pulses delivered by the N antennas.
