Abstract:
A full serial implementation of a M-level correlation based demodulator ( ) includes a twos complement, pass-through, zero-out complex conjugate multiplier element ( ), a boxcar filter ( ) coupled to the multiplier element, a complex magnitude approximater element ( ) coupled to the boxcar filter and a maximum value and index holding element ( ). The multiplier element reuses common products along an M-level of cross-correlation to reduce multiplication functions at a rate 2 times M faster than a sampling rate at an input of the demodulator.
