What is GPS correlation?

Correlations are the key operation for GNSS receivers to synchronize with the incoming signal, generate GNSS observables, and retrieve the navigation message that will be used to provide a navigation solution later on.

What is cross-correlation in signal processing?

In signal processing, cross-correlation is a measure of similarity of two series as a function of the displacement of one relative to the other. This is also known as a sliding dot product or sliding inner-product.

How do you calculate cross-correlation?

Cross-Correlation

It is calculated simply by multiplying and summing two-time series together. In the following example, graphs A and B are cross-correlated but graph C is not correlated to either.

How do you find cross-correlation with FFT?

We can compute correlations using the FFT as follows: FFT the two data sets, multiply one resulting transform by the complex conjugate of the other, and inverse transform the product. The result (call it rk) will formally be a complex vector of length N.
