The off axis angle detector of a radar is sampled at discreet intervals by a special purpose digital computer. Each sample is directed to one of a plurality of registers in accordance to the angle indication of the sample. Each register being a counter which will give an output when it is in an overflow condition; therefore, each register acts as a threshold device. Upon one register overflowing and giving an output of that indication, the sample process is stopped and the output of the register is sent to a converter to indicate the direction of the jammer. This is done both for the azimuth and elevation angle of the radar receiver.

A detector comprising an input means having an input which receives continuous information and a plurality of outputs; a control means connected to said input means so as to cause the input means to sample the continuous informatiOn at discrete intervals and present the sampled information at its outputs; a plurality of counters; steering means connected between outputs of the input means and the inputs of the counters so as to cause a predetermined counter to count one each time a corresponding predetermined range of sample information is sampled by the input means; each of said counters having an output when it over-flows; and an output means connected to said counters so as to indicate which counter has overflowed; said control means is a pulse generator which is further connected to the steering means so as to provide a pulse to be delivered to the proper counter; and further comprising an OR gate having a plurality of inputs connected to the overflow outputs of the plurality of counters; and a flip-flop means having an input connected to the output of the OR gate and an output connected to the pulse generator so as to turn off said pulse generator when an overflow of one counter is sensed by the OR gate.
