Abstract
  • In communications it is often desirable to recover a signal hidden in noise. The techniques of correlation are often employed for this purpose. Initially, the basic formula and properties of correlation including an approximating formula are presented. Then the description, design, and construction of a DC to 500 KHz electronic correlator that implements the approximating formula is discussed. Experimental results of the correlation of various waveforms including random noise are presented. Finally, the experimental results of the autocorrelation, crosscorrelation, and sample averaging of signals in noise are given for signal to noise ratios of up to -18 dB, -36 dB, and -42 dB respectively.
