Autocorrelation and limited sampling algorithm with fixed packet length in period measurement

Abstract

Abstract This paper proposed a real time autocorrelation and limited sampling algorithm with fixed packet length based on Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA) for the period estimation and significant data transmission for arbitrary periodic signal, which contributes to information transfer in the Internet of things for smart sensors, and has a wide applications such as radar, communication, sensors network and measurement. Firstly, an explanation of the algorithm is shown. Secondly, several simulation results are analyzed. Finally, experimental and hardware implementation results are shown.
