Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a correlator of a global positioning system receiver in a global positioning system receives a sample satellite signal. The correlator includes a signal comparator configured to receive the sample signal, a first normalized estimate signal, and a second normalized estimate signal. The signal comparator generates a first accumulated output and a second accumulated output. The first accumulated output represents the integration of a correlation of the sample signal and the first normalized estimate signal. The second accumulated output represents the integration of a correlation of the sample signal and the second normalized estimate signal. Using time-multiplexing, the high speed of a digital signal processing core is leveraged to perform calculations of the signal comparator and threshold comparator in real time.
