Description
Summary:Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references (leaves 56-62). === Correlation engines are essential elements of most signal processing systems. Areas of applicability include image processing, speech synthesis and analysis, high energy physics, wireless and mobile communication systems, spread spectrum communication systems and even prosthetics. Finding cost effective and computationally less intensive engines is the thrust of most research. Neural networks have also been used as aids in making complex tasks relatively easy to process.
