Abstract
This article describes a much-simplified, yet more general-purpose multi-channel deep-space ranging system correlator design than has been used in past JPL spacecraft ranging systems. The method applies to detection of both single-component and multiplecomponent ranging codes, in either sequential (u) or composite (1) transmitted forms, and using either pseudonoise or square-wave components. Using this design, the Phobos Probe ranging system correlator computational complexity was reduced by over three orders of magnitude in multiply-and-add circuits and 45,000 bits of accumulator storage.
