Both options are correct, but there are subtle differences:
1.
"The calculation unit calculates similarity between the measured signal and a known signal."
- Strengths:
- Concise and direct.
- Works well if the context already makes it clear that the "similarity" is being quantified.
- Weaknesses:
- The lack of "degree of" might make it sound less precise or scientific in contexts where numerical comparison is key.
2.
"The calculation unit calculates a degree of similarity between the measured signal and a known signal."
- Strengths:
- Emphasizes that the calculation involves a measurable or quantifiable degree of similarity, which is useful in technical or formal descriptions.
- Slightly more formal and precise, especially in contexts like technical documents or patents.
- Weaknesses:
- Slightly longer and more verbose.
Recommendation:
- Use Option 2 for technical accuracy and when emphasizing a quantifiable aspect.
- Use Option 1 for simplicity in less formal or already clear contexts.
In technical or scientific writing, Option 2 is generally preferable.

You're absolutely right—"calculates a degree" could imply that there's a specific degree already known, and the unit is simply retrieving it, which might feel off in this context. A more natural phrasing to emphasize the process of determining similarity could be:
- "The calculation unit calculates the degree of similarity between the measured signal and a known signal."
This avoids the implication that the degree is pre-existing and emphasizes the act of assessing or determining the similarity.
