ABSTRACT:
An ultra-wideband signal processor, such as that employed for processing narrow time domain radar return pulses, includes a coherent acousto-optic Bragg cell channelizer having a plurality of IF outputs from which a plurality of IF output signals respectively representative of energy content of respectively different frequency portions of the RF input signal are derived. A summing circuit is coupled to sum the IF output signals to produce a summation signal representative of their average energy content. This average energy signal is compared with a threshold to determine if the input signal is a valid RF signal. A delay circuit delays a selected one of the IF output channels by a time sufficient to accommodate summation of the channelizer outputs and determining whether a valid RF signal is present. A digital signal processor processes the delayed selected output signal in response to the summation signal exceeding the threshold.
