Abstract. The propagation of piecewise holomorphic (discontinuous) signals through the region of selective (frequency) amplification (cosmic maser) has been studied. It is shown that in this case, an amplified signal is excited at the maser radiation frequency compared to the original one, even in the case when the carrier frequency of the piecewise holomorphic signal differs by several orders of magnitude from the maser radiation frequency. Typical signal intensity gain values for a typical OH maser are about 40 dB. This makes it possible to consider space masers as natural "detectors" of radio and video signals of artificial origin.

Key words: piecewise holomorphic signal, discontinuous signal, artificial signal, space maser, extraterrestrial civilizations.
