System for measuring pulse power levels with a plurality of gate controlled pulse level comparator channels

Claim 1

A SYSTEM FOR MEASURING PULSE POWER LEVELS COMPRISING MEANS FOR GENERATING A SIGNAL PROPORTIONAL TO THE PULSE POWER LEVEL OF A MONITORED SYSTEM; A FIRST MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR CONNECTED TO SAID SIGNAL GENERATING MEANS FOR PRODUCING AN OUTPUT PULSE INDICATIVE OF THE LOWEST POWER LEVEL TO BE MEASURABLE; A FIRST LEVEL COMPARATOR HAVING FIRST AND SECOND TRANSISTORS WITH THEIR EMITTERS CONNECTED TOGETHER AND AN INPUT LEAD CONNECTED FROM THE BASE OF THE FIRST TRANSISTOR TO SAID SIGNAL GENERATING MEANS, AN ADJUSTABLE RESISTANCE CONECTED BETWEEN THE BASE OF THE FIRST TRANSISTOR AND GROUND, AND A DIODE RECTIFIER CONNECTED BETWEEN THE BASE OF THE SECOND TRANSISTOR AND GROUND, SAID FIRST LEVEL COMPARATOR PROVIDING AN OUTPUT PULSE INDICATIVE OF A MEDIUM POWER LEVEL TO BE MEASURED; A SECOND MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT OF SAID FIRST LEVEL COMPARATOR AND TO BE TRIGGERED BY THE OUTPUT THEREOF; A SECOND LEVEL COMPARATOR HAVING THIRD AND FOURTH TRANSISTORS WITH THEIR EMITTERS CONNECTED TOGETHER AND OUTPUT LEAD CONNECTED FROM THE BASE OF THE THIRD TRANSISTOR TO SAID SIGNAL GENERATING MEANS, AN ADJUSTABLE RESISTANCE CONNECTED BETWEEN THE BASE OF THE THIRD TRANSISTOR AND GROUND, AND A DIODE RECTIFIER CONNECTED BETWEEN THE BASE OF THE FOURTH TRANSISTOR AND GROUND, SAID SECOND LEVEL COMPARATOR PROVIDING AN OUTPUT PULSE INDICATIVE OF THE HIGHEST POWER LEVEL TO BE MEASURED; A THIRD MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT OF SAID SECOND LEVEL COMPARATOR AND TO BE TRIGGERED BY THE OUTPUT THEREOF; INDICATOR MEANS; AND A DIODE GATE SYSTEM FOR GATING THE OUTPUTS OF THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR TO SAID INDICATOR MEANS.

Claim 2

A SYSTEM FOR MEASURING PULSE POWER LEVELS COMPRISING MEANS FOR GENERATING A SIGNAL PROPORTIONAL TO THE PULSE POWER LEVEL OF A MONITORED SYSTEM; A FIRST MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR CONNECTED TO SAID SIGNAL GENERATING MEANS FOR PRODUCING AN OUTPUT PULSE INDICATIVE OF THE LOWEST POWER LEVEL TO BE MEASURABLE; A FIRST LEVEL COMPARATOR HAVING FIRST AND SECOND TRANSISTORS WITH THEIR EMITTERS CONNECTED TOGETHER AND AN INPUT LEAD CONNECTED FROM THE BASE OF THE FIRST TRANSISTOR TO SAID SIGNAL GENERATING MEANS, AN ADJUSTABLE RESISTANCE CONECTED BETWEEN THE BASE OF THE FIRST TRANSISTOR AND GROUND, AND A DIODE RECTIFIER CONNECTED BETWEEN THE BASE OF THE SECOND TRANSISTOR AND GROUND, SAID FIRST LEVEL COMPARATOR PROVIDING AN OUTPUT PULSE INDICATIVE OF A MEDIUM POWER LEVEL TO BE MEASURED; A SECOND MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT OF SAID FIRST LEVEL COMPARATOR AND TO BE TRIGGERED BY THE OUTPUT THEREOF; A SECOND LEVEL COMPARATOR HAVING THIRD AND FOURTH TRANSISTORS WITH THEIR EMITTERS CONNECTED TOGETHER AND OUTPUT LEAD CONNECTED FROM THE BASE OF THE THIRD TRANSISTOR TO SAID SIGNAL GENERATING MEANS, AN ADJUSTABLE RESISTANCE CONNECTED BETWEEN THE BASE OF THE THIRD TRANSISTOR AND GROUND, AND A DIODE RECTIFIER CONNECTED BETWEEN THE BASE OF THE FOURTH TRANSISTOR AND GROUND, SAID SECOND LEVEL COMPARATOR PROVIDING AN OUTPUT PULSE INDICATIVE OF THE HIGHEST POWER LEVEL TO BE MEASURED; A THIRD MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT OF SAID SECOND LEVEL COMPARATOR AND TO BE TRIGGERED BY THE OUTPUT THEREOF; INDICATOR MEANS; AND A DIODE GATE SYSTEM FOR GATING THE OUTPUTS OF THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD MONOSTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR TO SAID INDICATOR MEANS.
