Techniques are provided for non-linear filtering of a signal for improved pulse detection and pulse width discrimination. A system implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes a first linear filter configured to filter an in-phase component of a received signal to a downsample bandwidth and a second linear filter configured to filter a quadrature phase component of the received signal to the downsample bandwidth. The system also includes a magnitude calculation circuit coupled to outputs of the first linear filter and the second linear filter and configured to generate a magnitude signal based on the filtered in-phase component and the filtered quadrature phase component of the received signal. The system further includes a median filter processor coupled to an output of the magnitude calculation circuit and configured to apply a median filter to the magnitude signal to generate a filtered signal having reduced noise while maintaining sharp edge transitions.
