改进SSMUSIC超分辨多径时延估计算法

传统的MUSIC超分辨时延估计技术是直接基于测量数据,其性能往往只对宽带且频谱近似平坦的信号较优,而对窄带信号估计性能较差。针对上述问题,本文通过利用谐波频率估计模型和DOA (Direction of Arrival)估计模型之间的等价性,将时延估计问题转化为谐波频率估计问题,提出了一种改进SSMUSIC(Signal Subspace Scaled Multiple Signal Classification)超分辨多径时延估计算法。改进后的算法采用平滑的思想和SSMUSIC算法的思想构造协方差矩阵和MUSIC谱,实现了对多径时延的超分辨估计。仿真表明,该算法能够实现对窄带信号多径时延超分辨估计且具有DP(Direct-Path)不模糊和谱峰陡峭的特点,估计性能优于传统的超分辨算法。

A new time delay estimator based on ETDE

In this paper, we address the problem of online subsample time delay estimation of narrowband signals of known center frequency. We propose a new so-called mixed modulated Lagrange explicit time delay estimation (MMLETDE) algorithm and study its performance through computer simulations. The MMLETDE is a modulated Lagrange ETDE, but the delay estimate adaptation process is based on the truncated sinc fractional delay filter algorithm. We provide theoretical derivations for our proposed estimator, a proof of its convergence performance, learning characteristics of its error performance surface, and an expression for its delay variance. Using simulations, we show that MMLETDE requires only a small filter order and has no noticeable estimation bias over a wide frequency range.     

Time Delay Estimation by Cross-covariance Maximization of Quadrature Sampled Narrowband Signals

A numerically efficient algorithm for estimating the time delay from observations of a stationary narrowband signal and its delayed version is investigated. Quadrature sampling, a variant of bunched sampling, is applied to estimate samples of the quadrature components of the cross-covariance function of the two signals. The baseband magnitude squared of this function can be maximized for time delay estimation. Because the time delay is unknown, the baseband cross-covariance function cannot be interpolated from the estimated samples. Numerical maximization of the samples' magnitude squared and quadratic interpolation, however, results in a reasonable time delay estimate.     

Method for determining the mutual time delay of ultrawideband OFDM signals

The efficient algorithm for determining the mutual time delay of orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signals propagating in ultrawideband (UWB) satellite communications systems is proposed. The algorithm is based on modified calculation of the mutual uncertainty function of signals to compensate for the Doppler effect. The directly calculated mutual uncertainty function of UWB signals makes it impossible to obtain the consistent estimate of the mutual time delay due to the influence of the Doppler broadening of a spectral band. The proposed algorithm relies on the fact that received signals are divided into separate narrowband channels in which mutual uncertainty functions are subsequently calculated. The algorithm operation modes based on OFDM and pseudorandom frequency-hopping signals are compared.     

The JDTDOA algorithm applied to signal recovery: a performance analysis

This article suggests a novel method to retrieve a narrowband signal sent in a multipath environment with a delay spread considering ISI between symbols. The proposed method does not require any preamble nor known signal. Using the joint direction and time delay of arrivals estimation algorithm developed in prior work, the directions and time delays of arrival in the multipath channel are jointly estimated and associated while keeping a low computational cost. In this process, a MVDR beamformed copy of each arriving signal is created. The quality of these “pseudo copies” is evaluated and compared to the original direct and reflected signals in this work. Another beamforming method, the Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse, with better retrieval of the direct and reflected signals is also proposed. Using a simple delay-and-sum operation on the previously beamformed copies, it is possible to substantially improve the the system’s performance in terms of bit error rate. An approach using oversampling on the array antenna is introduced to improve performance. Numerical simulations are discussed to support theory.

Direction of Arrival Estimation of Multiple UWB Signals

This paper deals with the problem of estimation of direction of arrivals (DOA) of a multiple ultra-wideband (UWB) pulse postion modulation signals incident on a smart antenna in the presence of white Gaussian noise. We transform the received signal into frequency domain in order to split the array output into multiple frequency channels. Corresponding frequency channels data of the array is arranged into a model similar to narrowband DOA estimation. Iterative quadratic maximum likelihood algorithm is applied to yield DOA estimates. These separate estimates at different frequencies are combined into a single estimate of DOA for each source in an appropriate manner. The performance of the proposed method is studied via extensive computer simulations. It is seen that the technique can successfully resolve the DOA of the closely-spaced UWB signals.
