1. Apparatus for obtaining constant false alarm probability in radar signals comprising:

  • means to transform analog video signals into M bit digital signals;

    a first digital delay block comprising M digital delay lines connected to receive said digital signals and having a central M-bit output and N lateral outputs of M-bits,means for generating a and H-bit binary noise signal;

    a second digital delay block comprising H digital delay lines for receiving said binary noise signal and having a central H-bit output and N lateral outputs, each one comprising H-bits;

    computing means for generating a signal word corresponding to the value of the M+H bits by processing the N-lateral outputs of the first digital delay line block and by processing the N-lateral outputs from the second digital delay line block; and

    comparator means connected to receive the output signal from said computing means and the signals from the central bit outputs of said first digital delay block and said second digital delay block for generating a quantized video signal.
