Apparatus and methods for reducing data flow through a signal processing system are disclosed. A method according to the invention includes receiving a set of tags from an input system, where each tag is associated with a pulse and includes a pulse characterization parameter that characterizes the associated pulse. The pulse characterization parameter can be based on, for example, pulse center frequency, duration, or angle of arrival. The method includes identifying a subset of tags from the set of tags, where each tag in the subset includes a predefined value of the pulse characterization parameter. The subset of tags can be identified by histogramming the set of tags based on the pulse characterization parameter. If the number of tags in the subset exceeds a threshold number, then the number of tags from the subset that is forwarded through the system is limited to no more than the threshold number of tags. |
