Abstract
A correlator for identifying global positioning satellites includes an antenna at a central location for receiving signature signals from a plurality of the satellites. Each received signal is converted from analog to digital form. A filter is employed to correlate each digital signal with a respective, unique code sequence. Each filtered digital signal is supplied to a circuit which produces an indication that identifies each satellite from the filtered digital signal supplied to the circuit.
