38. The correlator of claim 33 wherein means for forming said correlator output signals comprises: first storing means for storing each of said ramp weighted segment sums over said plurality of word periods; second storing means for storing uniformly weighted segment sums over said plurality of word periods; first scaling means for scaling a sequence of said stored ramp weighted segment sums by +1 or -1 to represent the up slope or down slope of triangular weights to achieve said triangular weighting; second scaling means for scaling a sequence of said stored uniformly weighted segment sums by an appropriate integer value to represent an offset between a ramp and said triangular weighting within said segment; accumulating means for accumulating said scaled ramp weighted segment sums and said scaled uniformly weighted sums with appropriate normalization factors to provide said correlator output signal for a particular word segment.
