Abstract

Abstract A continuous wave detection system having a crystal detector DC coupled to a threshold circuit. The output of the threshold circuit is fed directly to a coincidence circuit and also via a delay of one frequency period. The driven gated output from the coincidence circuit representing the continuous wave signal can be selected for chopping.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 80 words
A system for detecting the presence of continuous wave signals comprising: a. a crystal detector having an RF input; b. a DC coupled amplifier fed by a crystal detector; c. a threshold circuit fed by the amplifier; d. a delay line fed by the threshold circuit; e. a coincidence gate fed by the threshold circuit and the delay line; and f. means for detecting the output of the coincidence gate, the output representing the presence of a continuous wave signal.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 80 words
A system for detecting the presence of continuous wave signals comprising: a. a crystal detector having an RF input; b. a DC coupled amplifier fed by a crystal detector; c. a threshold circuit fed by the amplifier; d. a delay line fed by the threshold circuit; e. a coincidence gate fed by the threshold circuit and the delay line; and f. means for detecting the output of the coincidence gate, the output representing the presence of a continuous wave signal.
