Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
A PULSE AMPLITUDE COMPRESSION SYSTEM COMPRESSING PULSES HAVING A WIDE RANGE OF AMPLITUDE VARIATION INTO A RELATIVELY NARROW RANGE OF AMPLITUDE VARIATION COMPRISING: A SOURCE OF SAID WIDE RANGE PULSES; A PLURALITY OF CHANNELS COUPLED TO SAID SOURCE EQUAL IN NUMBER TO A PREDETERMINED NUMBER OF SEGMENTS OF SAID WIDE RANGE, EACH OF SAID CHANNELS INCLUDING MEANS RESPONSIVE TO SAID WIDE RANGE PULSE TO PROVIDE AN OUTPUT PULSE IN RESPONSE TO EACH OF SAID WIDE RANGE PULSES, A DIFFERENT ONE OF SAID CHANNELS PROVIDING SAID OUTPUT PULSE IN SAID NARROW RANGE FOR EACH OF SAID SEGMENTS; MEANS COUPLED TO SAID SOURCE RESPONSIVE TO EACH OF SAID WIDE RANGE PULSES TO GENERATE A CONTROL SIGNAL INDICATIVE OF WHICH OF SAID SEGMENTS THE AMPLITUDE OF EACH OF SAID WIDE RANGE PULSES FALL; AND MEANS COUPLED TO SAID CHANNELS AND SAID MEANS TO GENERATE RESPONSIVE TO SAID CONTROL SIGNAL TO SELECT THAT ONE CHANNEL OF SAID CHANNELS PROVIDING SAID OUTPUT PULSE IN SAID NARROW RANGE.
