Abstract
System and method for maximizing a signal strength of a received signal pulse. A preferred embodiment comprises a self-adjusting correlator/integrator (for example, correlator/integrator) that uses no historical timing information. The self-adjusting correlator/integrator uses a plurality of simple correlators/integrators (for example, correlator/integrator) which are configured to process a received signal at various times surrounding the signal pulse's expected arrival. A comparator (for example, comparator) selects an output of the simple correlators/integrators with greatest magnitude.
