1. An electrical circuit for generating an output signal representative of the peak power level of an input signal, said circuit comprising:

  • means for dividing the input signal into a first reference signal and a second source signal; and

    circuit means for maintaining the peak power level of said reference at a predetermined peak power level, said circuit means including,variable attenuator means for controlling the amplitude of said reference signal;

    detector means for detecting when the peak level of the reference signal exceeds a predetermined value; and

    control means, responsive to said detector means, for controlling said variable attenuator means to increase the attenuation of said attenuation means when the peak level exceeds the predetermined value and to decrease the attenuation when the peak level is less than the predetermined value.
