Abstract
A wide bandwidth frequency discriminator circuit (200) employs a wide bandwidth limiting amplifier (202) to amplify the IF signal portion of a received RF signal. A frequency-to-voltage circuit 208 is provided having a bandwidth substantially greater than the bandwidth of the IF signal. This discriminator (200) operates to form a detection system capable of discriminating between desired and undesired components of the received RF signal even when said desired and undesired components are nearly identical in amplitude. This is due in part to the enhanced frequency response provided by the discriminator (200).
