High speed digital data correlator having a synchronous pipelined full adder cell array

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6937882

This patent describes a high speed digital data correlator for detecting a known correlation word in a serial data stream having a known data rate. It comprises: first means for storing respective bits of the known correlation word, for receiving the serial data stream and a clock signal synchronous therewith; synchronous pipelined single bit full adder cell array means for providing a binary sum indicating a number of bit matches obtained by the first means; and second means for receiving the sum provided by the array means, comparing the sum with a predetermined threshold, and providing a synchronizing output signal when the comparison is obtained.
