UN CONJUNTO DE CIRCUITOS GENERADORES DE UN FACTOR DE FUNCIONDE AUTOCORRELACION.

摘要

For a delta modulated signal wave comprising a digital carrier wave modulated by an analog wave and represented accordingly as a bivalued digital data bit stream, a correlation function factor is generated by delaying the bit stream in time by an integral multiple of bits and accumulating the successive individual products over a predetermined number of bits of successive individual bits delayed in time and the corresponding currently appearing bits. The circuitry is extremely simple; readily procurable components only are required. A dual input exclusive OR (XOR) gating circuit is connected to the source of delta modulated signal bit stream and to an N-bit digital binary shift register also connected to the source. A stream of successive bivalued products of the current bits and the time delayed bits over a period of N-bits is obtained from the XOR gating circuit and applied to a bidirectional digital counting circuit from which an autocorrelation function factor is delivered.
