Abstract

A method and a device which make it possible, simultaneously and in a perfectly identical manner, to process n analog signals (E1, E2 . . . ) of short duration. The device comprises n processing channels (V1, V2, . . . ) each receiving an analog signal and each possessing in series, a processing circuit (11, 12; 21, 22; . . . ) for frequency transfer (F1, F2, . . . ), and a delay circuit τ1, τ2, . . . (13, 23, . . . ) respectively. A set of switches (C1, C2, . . . , C'1, C'2, . . . ) interconnect the inputs and outputs of the various elementary processing channels (V1, V2, . . . ) in order to pass each signal through all the n elementary channels (V1, V2, . . . ) successively and sequentially, for a processing cycle. This permits the fine analysis of the echo signals received from a target consisting of several bright points, by a pulse compression radar.
