Abstract

A method and apparatus for computing a convolution (109) between an input GPS signal (101) and a C/A code reference (1-32) by generating the convolution result in real time without storing unprocessed signal samples. The method and apparatus is capable of operating in multiple modes (104n) of resolution so as to enhance the sensitivity of the convolution processing.
