Multi-staged pipelined GNSS receiver

A method comprising:

• receiving sets of digital samples associated with received wireless signals, wherein each of the sets of digital samples corresponds to a particular radio-frequency (RF) path;
• providing the sets of digital samples to a plurality of pipelines, wherein each of the plurality of pipelines includes a plurality of stages that are serially connected, wherein each of the plurality of stages includes one or more digital logic circuits;
• receiving control data for the plurality of pipelines;
• providing the control data to a first pipeline of the plurality of pipelines;
• generating, by the plurality of pipelines, sets of interconnect data based on the sets of digital samples;
• and
• passing the sets of interconnect data between adjacent pipelines of the plurality of pipelines.

A receiver comprising:

• a set of radio-frequency (RF) front ends for generating sets of digital samples based on received wireless signals, wherein each of the sets of digital samples corresponds to a particular RF path;
• and
• a correlator coupled to the set of RF front ends, the correlator comprising:
• a set of inputs for receiving the sets of digital samples;
• and
• a plurality of pipelines each including a plurality of stages that are serially connected, wherein each of the plurality of stages includes one or more digital logic circuits, and wherein the plurality of pipelines are configured to generate sets of interconnect data based on the sets of digital samples and pass the sets of interconnect data between adjacent pipelines of the plurality of pipelines, wherein a first pipeline of the plurality of pipelines is configured to receive control data.
