Sea Test Performance of a Real Time Linear Correlator.

Abstract

The results of a sea test of the TRACOR 3-bit real time linear correlator have been analyzed. The performance of this processor is compared to that of the shipboard clipped correlator and a 12-bit simulated linear correlator. The analysis clearly demonstrates the superiority of the linear correlator over the clipped correlator. Comparison of the 3-bit linear correlator sea test data to the data obtained from the 12-bit simulated correlator indicates that further improvements in the performance of the 3-bit linear correlator could probably be achieved by adjustment of some system parameters. On the basis of this analysis it is recommended that a linear correlator be utilized in the signal processor for the AN/SQS-26.
