Patent ID: 7302017

Claim:
A system for determining parameters of a signal, comprising: a front end for receiving the signal; a channelizer connected to said front end to segment the signal into a plurality of signal segments; a plurality of detectors connected to said channelizer, each of said detectors corresponding to at least one of said signal segments; a plurality of delays connected to said channelizer, wherein each said delay is associated with at least a corresponding one of said plurality of detectors; and a plurality of parameter measurement units wherein each said parameter measurement unit is connected to at least a corresponding one of said plurality of detectors and to said delay associated with said at least one detector; wherein at least one of said parameter measurement units comprises: an adaptive signal arbitration control unit; a pre-filter tuner; and a signal parameter measurement and estimation unit; wherein said adaptive signal arbitration control unit sends information about the corresponding at least one of said signal segments to said pre-filter tuner and sends control information to said signal parameter measurement and estimation unit and wherein said pre-filter tuner sends a narrow band signal and a wide band signal to said signal parameter measurement and estimation unit.
