Abstract

A digital matched filter has a serial-to-parallel conversion circuit that converts input data fed thereto in serial form into n sets of parallel data and a plurality of delay circuits that each output serial data fed thereto with a delay corresponding to n sets of data. The serial-to-parallel conversion circuit and the delay circuits are each fed with n clocks having different phases, and are composed of delay devices connected in n groups of serially connected delay devices so that the input data is shifted in synchronism with the rising edges of those n clocks. The outputs from the individual delay devices are multiplied by codes by multipliers, and the results of those multiplications are added together and output as output data by an adder.
