Abstract

A signal processing method for identifying the type of a stored, digitized acquired signal according to a selected operating mode applies a hierarchy of tests to the stored data. The tests applied are determined by the selected operating mode--SPUR, PULSE or CW. Tests for threshold and width are applied in all operating modes, tests for left and right maximum values are applied in the PULSE mode, and a bandwidth test is additionally applied in the CW mode. Thus other signals than CW can be identified.
