Abstract of the Disclosure A proportional processing technique having a wide instantaneous dynamic range and providing a significant increase in instantaneous dynamic range over presently known proportional processing methods. These improvements are made possible by the use in accordance with this invention of a logarithmic amplifier in each channel of a pair of channels relatable to the same sensing plane. Each logarithmic amplifier is preferably arranged to operate substantially at the midpoint of its operating characteristic, and the pair of channels may be orthogonally related to another pair of channels, such that suitable guidance commands can be derived and furnished for example to a missile. Each logarithmic amplifier produces signal outputs of nanosecond duration which are converted into signals of at least sufficient duration to provide sufficient time for comparison of the channel output signals thereby produced. The channel output signals are compared to produce a steering command output that has a polarity indicative of the channel having the higher output signal level, and has a slope representing volts versus target bearing that is independent of the input signal level thereby inherently accomplishing normalization. The steering command output is limited to a preselected voltage level below a non-linear region of the output.
