Abstract

An electric signal digitizing device includes a line of propagation through which the signal travels and a plurality of samplers (141, . . . , 14N) connected at separate points on the line of propagation, such that each one samples the signal value at the connection point thereof. The device further includes an analog matrix memory including a line of which at least some elements are each connected to a sampler of the plurality of samplers to receive the value sampled by the sampler, and a means for the line-to-line shifting of stored values. An analog-digital conversion means is also provided for the analog-digital conversion of the stored values.
