1. A device for detecting a pulse train, said train comprising a plurality of pulses, said device comprising:
- means for detecting the peak value of the first pulse of said train;
first analog delay means receiving said pulse train and conferring thereon a first delay for forming a first output signal;
a first comparator for comparing the level of said first output signal with the half of said peak value and delivering a first signal when said first output signal becomes equal to said half peak value and as long as said first output signal remains greater than said half peak value;
second analog delay means receiving said pulse train, conferring thereon a second delay, different from said first delay for forming a second output signal;
a second comparator comparing the level of said second output signal with said half peak value and with said first output signal and delivering a second signal when said second output signal becomes equal either to said half value or to said first output signal, and delivering said second signal from the second comparator as long as said second output signal remains greater than the greatest of said half value and said first output signal;
logic means receiving said first and second signals from said first and second comparators respectively and delivering a signal when there is coincidence between said first and second signals.

Abstract
A device for detecting, among noise, each of the pulses of a pulse train, comprising essentially: a detector detecting the peak of a pulse; a first delay line; a first comparator comparing the level of the first delayed pulse with the half peak value; a second delay line for delaying the pulse train with a second delay different from the first one; a second comparator comparing the signal delivered by a second delay line with the signal delivered by the first delay line and with the half peak value, and an AND gate delivering an output signal when there is coincidence of the output signals from said two comparators.
