Abstract
Collapsing losses are computed for systems in which the peak return of K samples of noise plus one sample of signal-plus-noise are integrated over N looks. The statistical approach, collapsing losses, and an application are described. The peak integrator is found to have substantially lower collapsing losses than conventional systems in which the average, not the peak, is integrated
