Abstract
An enhanced architecture time-shared data correlator for performing a predetermined number of correlation processes. A data shift register receives input data and loads the input data. A reference shift register receives reference data and loads and circulates the reference data. A pulse correlator connected to the shift register and the reference shift register correlates the input data with the corresponding reference data and provides a pulse correlator output. An accumulator connected to the pulse correlator receives and adds the pulse correlator outputs from the correlation processes to produce a correlator output corresponding to the predetermined number of correlation processes.
