without knowing more details:
take pulse train and clock a divide by 2 circuit.
output of divide by 2 should be 50% duty cycle if pulses remain evenly spaced
low pass filter 50% duty cycle wave giving a voltage that is roughly Vpower/2
set up 2 comparators with trip points slightly above and below Vpower/2
digital signals low-middle-high result
when low or high asserts the pulses are not evenly spaced
That is, as requested, an analog method.
A digital method could use the pulses to start-stop counters and compare the difference.
Other solutions are possible as well (PLL and watch the phase detector output and probably others as well)
