Abstract: A recording and reproducing system for radar signal information includes a pulse stretcher that detects master trigger pulses and, upon each occurrence, provides a stretched pulse having extended duration consistent with a selected recording bandwidth; a detector to detect the stretched pulses and to provide a binary information signals; an echo pulse processor to sample and quantize radar echo pulses to at least one bit level. The quantized echo pulses are recorded on multiple channels and the binary information signals are recorded on a single channel of selected bandwidth.
