Abstract
The design and application, in spread spectrum communications, of a digital correlator implemented in a Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array is presented. Spread spectrum communications, correlators and Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Arrays are first introduced. A digital correlator is designed and implemented in a Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array. Cascading correlators to increase the correlation dimensions is next explored. The maximum operating frequency of the digital correlator is calculated and simulated to be 40 Mhz; a significant speed improvement over commercially available correlators such as those from TRW.
