Once the data is converted to received power, the next step is to find the pulses in the noise. Instrument specifications state that the pulses are approximately 1.5 ms wide and 5.4 ms apart. To find the pulses, each data set is convolved with a rectangular window, 1.5 ms in width. This creates a triangular waveform, the triangles occurring where ever there is a pulse.
