Abstract: A control signal generator for generating a plurality of control and timing ignals which are supplied to a scan converter. The control and timing signals are utilized by the logic elements of the scan converter to process the incoming pixel data from a missile's seeker allowing the data to be supplied to a video monitor for viewing. The control signal generator includes a state machine which generates four state variable signals and a cycle counter which generates a binary count thirty one signal which allows the state machine to cycle through six predetermined states until the scan converter completes processing of incoming pixel data from each detector of the missile's seeker. The count thirty one signal and the four state variable signals are decoded by five decoders which generate the timing and control signals for the logic elements of the scan converter.

Abstract: A video signal filtering circuit and method includes the operative steps of eceiving unfiltered high-state and low-state components of a video signal being substantially equally injected with electromagnetic noise, subtracting the unfiltered high-state and low-state components of the video signal one from the other so as to thereby produce a first signal having a DC offset component and an AC data-containing component free of noise, removing the DC offset component from the first signal and passing the noise-free AC data-containing component, clamping the first signal to a preset DC reference level corresponding to a specified sync level of a standard video signal so as to thereby produce a second signal having the AC data-containing component free of noise and being clamped to the preset DC reference level, and isolating the second signal from external electronic disturbances so as to produce a noise-free AC data-containing reference level-clamped output signal for providing a filtered high-state component h
