A receiver of a pulse-type radar has a main i-f channel feeding a fixed-echo suppressor of limited dynamic range and, in parallel therewith, an ancillary channel of extended dynamic range including a logarithmic amplifier and a processor. The latter averages the amplitude of incoming echo signals over a range-and-azimuth cell and then over one or more antenna revolutions. The resulting mean value of the signal amplitude is used to control the gain of a linear amplifier in the main channel so as to adapt the dynamic range of the echo signals to that which can be handled by the fixed-echo suppressor.
