ABSTRACT:
A multi-level correlation technique and apparatus for detecting symbol and data frame synchronization in high noise and multi-path environments, wherein received signals are correlated with known pseudorandom noise (PN) or other known codes at the base level and the base level correlation results are in turn correlated with PN or other known codes at the next higher level, such that the top level of correlation includes all lower levels of encoding in the complete synchronization pattern. In a two level implementation, the base level codes define symbols while the top level code defines the synchronization pattern in terms of the base level symbols. Correlation hardware is minimized while processing gain is maximized for enhancing low signal to noise levels over a long synchronization pattern. Additionally, precise ranging is facilitated because the top level correlation result covers the entire synchronization pattern.
