Abstract

An amplifier for an electromagnetic radiation receiver has a plurality of amplification channels for the determination of angular separations, especially for use in self guiding equipment in missiles in which each amplification channel has several amplification stages each of which is of fixed gain. Means are provided to vary the number of operational stages as a function of the sum of the outputs of the channels. A converter is disclosed for converting the analog signal values to stochastic values. A division process is disclosed for the data, based on the use of simple operator and stochastic values.
