Abstract
A digital memory system is described wherein a plurality of digital storage sections are simultaneously fed by an analog signal. Each storage section is adapted to store a sample of such analog signal in response to a pulse. Trains of pulses are fed to the storage sections, the pulses in each train being displaced in time from a succeeding train an amount T/n where n is the number of storage sections and T is related to the bandwidth of the analog signal.

3. A method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) feeding an analog signal directly into a digital shift register; (b) feeding a train of clock pulses to the shift register; and (c) storing a logical signal in the shift register in response to each one of the clock pulses in the train thereof, each stored logical signal having a logical state related to the level of the analog signal at the time said one of the clock pulses is fed to the shift register.

4. A method for storing a series of logical signals in a digital shift register, each one of said logical signals being related to the level of an analog signal at a sampling time comprising the steps of:
-
(a) feeding the analog signal directly into the shift register; (b) feeding a clock pulse to the shift register at each sampling time; and (c) storing one of the series of logical signals in the digital shift register in response to said clock pulse.

9. A method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) feeding an analog signal having a time varying level to a digital shift register without any intervening analog-to-digital conversion of such analog signal; (b) feeding a drain of pulses to the digital shift register, and (c) storing a logical signal in the digital shift register in response to each one of the pulses in the train of pulses, each one of the stored logical signals having a logical state relative to the level of the analog signal at the time said one of the pulses is fed to the digital shift register.
