The operation of a wide field-of-view (WFOV) Cherenkov telescope is described. The detection of extensive air showers (EASs) of cosmic rays (CRs) is based upon the coincidence with signals from the Yakutsk array. The data acquisition system of the telescope yields signals connected with EAS development parameters: presumably, shower age and position of shower maximum in the atmosphere. Here, we describe the method of signal processing used to reconstruct Cherenkov radiation signals induced by CR showers. An analysis of signal parameters results in the confirmation of the known correlation of the duration of the Cherenkov radiation signal with the distance to the shower core. The measured core distance dependence is used to set an upper limit to the dimensions of the area along the EAS axis where the Cherenkov radiation intensity is above half-peak amplitude.
