Claim Text:
1. An enhanced dynamic range RF (radio frequency) pulse measurement system, comprising: an RF splitter having an input terminal adapted for receiving an RF signal and having at least two output terminals, the splitter having a circuit for splitting the received RF signal into identical copies of the received RF signal at the output terminals; a first RF receiver operably connected to the RF splitter for receiving a first copy of the received RF signal, the first RF receiver having a reference signal strength set to process the received RF signal within a first dynamic power range; a second RF receiver operably connected to the RF splitter for receiving a second copy of the received RF signal, the second RF receiver having a reference signal strength set to process the received RF signal within a second dynamic power range; a first RF stream recorder operably connected to the first RF receiver, the first RF stream recorder having means for making a first recording of the RF signal processed within the first dynamic power range by the first RF receiver; a second RF stream recorder operably connected to the second RF receiver, the second RF stream recorder having means for making a second recording of the RF signal processed within the second dynamic power range by the second RF receiver; and means for selecting from and combining segments of the first recording and the second recording to provide a noise-free representation of the received RF signal over a wide dynamic power range and a wide RF bandwidth.
