Multipath time-delay estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
A transmitted and known signal is observed at the receiver through more than one path in additive noise. The problem is to estimate the number of paths and for each of them the associated attenuation and delay. It is a frequent problem in sonar, radar and geophysics. We propose an algorithm that is easy to implement, that has a reasonable computational load and seems to be able to solve the problem under more severe conditions (lower SNR) than previous methods.

Maximum Likelihood Time Delay Estimation and Cramér-Rao Bounds for Multipath Exploitation
In this paper, time delay estimation using the maximum likelihood principle is addressed for the multipath exploitation problem, and the corresponding Cramér-Rao bounds are derived. A single wideband radar, and a target in a known reflecting geometry are assumed. If the multipath is indeed detectable and resolvable, it is shown here that multipath exploitation, firstly, permits estimating the a...
متن کاملAnalysis of an Adaptive Algorithm for Unbiased Multipath Time Delay Estimation
Time delay estimation between signals received at two spatially separated sensors has many important applications such as transmitter linearization [1], synchronization in communication systems [2], speech enhancement, determination of the centre of earthquakes, and source localization in sonar and radio systems [3, 4]. The presence of unknown multipath propagation, which is often encountered i...
متن کاملJoint maximum likelihood time-delay estimation for LTE positioning in multipath channels
This paper presents a joint time-delay and channel estimator to assess the achievable positioning performance of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system in multipath channels. LTE is a promising technology for localization in urban and indoor scenarios, but its performance is degraded due to the effect of multipath. In those challenging environments, LTE pilot signals are of special interest becau...
متن کاملLow Rate Sampling Schemes for Time Delay Estimation
Time delay estimation arises in many applications in which a multipath medium has to be identified from pulses transmitted through the channel. Various approaches have been proposed in the literature to identify time delays introduced by multipath environments. However, these methods either operate on the analog received signal, or require high sampling rates in order to achieve reasonable time...
متن کاملOn methods to improve time delay estimation for underwater acoustic source localization
This paper addresses the problem of acoustic source localization in shallow water environment commonly dominated by impulsive noise and multipath phenomenon. Traditionally acoustic source localization with sensors spaced several wavelengths apart involves Time Delay Estimation (TDE) via Generalized Cross-Correlation Phase Transform (GCCPHAT). However multipath signals and impulsive noise in und...
متن کاملDelay-spread estimation using cyclic-prefix in wireless OFDM systems
A novel cyclic-prefix based delay-spread estimation technique for wireless OFDM systems is proposed. In particular, the authors propose a technique for estimating the delays and powers of multipath components when the channel is sparse, i.e. a few strong multipaths distantly spaced in time, and a technique for estimating the RMS delay-spread when the channel has a large number of sample-spaced ...
