Abstract: 1. A pulse position discriminator comprising, connection means for a source of repetitive pulse signals, means for phase inverting said pulse signals to produce a positive-going pulse signal and a negative-going pulse signal, connection means for a source of repetitive sawtooth reference signals, means for phase inverting said sawtooth signals to produce a positive-going sawtooth signal and a negative-going sawtooth signal, a pair of electron discharge devices having similar grid-anode characteristics and each having cathode, anode, and at least two control electrodes, each of said control electrodes being biased for operation in the linear portions of said characteristics and the gains of said tubes being controllable by the instantaneous potential applied to one of the control electrodes of each of said electron devices the anode electrodes of said discharge devices being connected together, means for applying said positive-going sawtooth signal to a control electrode of one of said discharge devices and for applying said negative-going sawtooth signal to an electrode of the other said discharge device to program the gains of said discharge device in opposing senses, the gains of said discharge devices being equal at the midpoints of said positive and negative going signals, means for applying said positive-going pulse signal to a different control electrode of the discharge device to which said positive-going sawtooth signal is applied and for applying said negative-going pulse signal to a different control electrode of the discharge device to which said negative-going sawtooth signal is applied, and an output circuit connected to said discharge device anode electrodes responsive to application of said pulse and sawtooth signals to said discharge devices for producing output signals having their polarities and amplitudes determined by the timing of said pulse signals with respect to said sawtooth signals.
