METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TEMPORAL AUTOCORRELATION FILTERING
First Claim
1. A method for generating a synchronization clock signal for a receiver, comprising:
- partially removing phase with lag from a spread spectrum signal by using an autocorrelation filter;
generating a first correlation and a second correlation using respective correlators configured to receive the output of the autocorrelation filter;
comparing the first correlation and the second correlation using a comparator to locate a peak correlation and produce a corresponding comparator output;
controlling a voltage controlled oscillator by using the comparator output; and
producing the synchronization clock signal by using an output of the voltage controlled oscillator.

Abstract
An autocorrelation filter for use with a spread spectrum receiver. The autocorrelation filter can be used as a prefilter stage to reduce phase distortion present in a spread spectrum signal. The autocorrelation filter can be used to process the output from a lattice filter. The lattice filter is configured to remove magnitude distortion from the spread spectrum signal. The autocorrelation filter performs a series of correlations on the output of the lattice filter. The results of these correlations are integrated over a period of time to generate a running impulse response for characterizing and removing the phase distortion in the spread spectrum signal.
