Abstract
A matched filter for implementing the correlation of an input signal and a reference signal. The matched filter comprises N parallel M-sample long shift registers for receiving an equal number of input signals at the sampling frequency of the input signal, wherein N≧2, and then multiplexes one of the input signals and one of the reference signals at a time to calculation logic by applying alternately at least one combination of the input signals and the reference signals to the calculation logic. The calculation logic may then calculate the correlation time-dividedly for each combination of an input signal and a reference signal so that correlation results calculated from different signals appear at the output of the calculation means as a sequence.
