Abstract

A frequency sensitive network responsive to frequencies somewhat above the useful signal band of a demodulated radio signal is interconnected with the inputs of a differential amplifier, so that the desired signal and the portions of the interference signals unaffected by the frequency sensitive circuit cancel out and a "stripped" interference signal is obtained which is fed to a transistor circuit that produces trigger pulses for a multivibrator, regardless of which side of the differential amplifier first produces a pulse. The multivibrator provides pulses to a blanking switch and also charges a capacitor in a RC network, in which charge accumulates when the control pulses are bunched closely in time and this effect is used to produce a bias for disabling the provision of trigger pulses to the multivibrator until the capacitor charge leaks off.
