ABSTRACT:
A Doppler frequency searching method and correlator are disclosed. In the present invention, before Doppler frequency removal, a received signal is converted into digital form having a first sampling rate. Then the signal is down-sampled to have a low sampling rate. The Doppler frequency searching is done by stages. Each stage is in charge of a portion of the Doppler frequency to be removed. The sampling rate can be further reduced in each stage. Each stage can have at least one Doppler frequency removal unit sharing the portion of Doppler frequency that the stage is to remove. Power consumption is reduced since Doppler frequency removal is executed with low sampling rate.
