If I wanted a radar receiver that maps hundreds of echos and 
measures frequency shift of each echo, I'd expect a complex data 
storage and signal processing system.

If I wanted a receiver that was free of birdies, had wide dynamic 
range, and picked out only one frequency and one signal out of 
hundreds, I'd want the most simple possible system.
