Abstract
A technique for correlating a stream of signal sample values with a predetermined binary code having a plurality of binary code bits is disclosed. The technique is realized by forming precombinations of groups of the signal sample values in the stream, and then temporally ordering the precombinations. Particular ones of the temporally ordered precombinations are selected based upon particular combinations of the plurality of binary code bits. The particular selected ones of the temporally ordered precombinations are then combined to form a correlation.
