SelfclockedCorrelator

Self clocked correlator implemented in FPGA. 2010-09-07

Project goals Design and implementation of a self clocked correlator for wireless sensor networks and RFID applications.

Background A low power detector provides conversion from AM-signal to baseband signal. The baseband signal is digitized and fed into a self clocked correlator providing an output signal if a specific binary word is found in the bit stream.

Figur 1 Self clocked correlator. Specification Length of binary word 200 bits Bit rate 200 kbit/s Clock recovery bit pattern length 10 bits
