Correlation apparatus based on symmetry of correlation coefficient and method thereof

摘要

Provided is a correlation apparatus based on symmetry of a correlation coefficient that can reduce complexity of hardware by reducing the number of adders and multipliers, and a method thereof. The correlation apparatus for correlating a complex correlation coefficient sequence which is symmetrical with respect to a received complex signal sequence includes a delaying means for delaying the received complex signal sequence; a first adding means for adding the complex signal sequence delayed in the delaying means; a second adding means for adding each output signal of the first adding means; a correlation coefficient multiplying means for multiplying each output signal of the second adding means by a complex correlation coefficient of the complex correlation coefficient sequence; and a final output adding means for adding each output signal of the correlation coefficient multiplying means.
