This letter addresses the problem of on-line subsample time delay estimation of narrowband signals of known center frequency. A new form of the Lagrange interpolator lter is presented in this letter which is incorporated into the explicit time delay estimator (ETDE) method. Simulations show that ETDE with the lter modulated to the signal center frequency signiicantly outperforms conventional ETDE.

The estimation with high accuracy of the line-of-sight delay is a prerequisite for all global navigation satellite systems. The delay locked loops and their enhanced variants are the structures of choice for the commercial GNSS receivers, but their performance in severe multipath scenarios is still rather limited. The new satellite positioning system proposals specify higher code-epoch lengths ...

This paper proposes a new time delay estimation model, Summary Cross-correlation Function (SCCF). It is based on a hearing model of the human ear, which comes from a pitch perception model. The inherent relation between some time delay estimation (TDE) and pitch perception method is mentioned, and propose an idea some pitch perception models’ pre-processing can be used for references in TDE mod...

A novel approach for estimating constant time delay through the use of neural networks (NN) is introduced. A desired reference signal and a delayed, damped, and noisy replica of it are both filtered by a fourth-order digital infinite impulse response (IIR) filter. The filtered signals are normalized with respect to the highest values they achieve and then applied as input for an NN system. The ...

In this paper, an observer design is proposed for linear time delay systems. An easy way to compute least square estimation error of an observer for time delay systems is derived, where the time delay terms exist in the state and output of the system. Based on the least square estimation error an optimization algorithm to compute a Kalman filter for time delay systems is proposed. By employing ...

Fast delay estimation methods, as compared to simulation techniques, are needed for incremental performance-driven layout synthesis. On-chip inductive and conductive effects are becoming predominant in deep submicron (DSM) interconnects due to increasing clock speeds; circuit complexity and interconnect lengths. Inductance causes noise in the signal waveforms, which can adversely affect the per...

The problem of estimating the di erence in arrival times of a noisy sinusoid received at two spatially separated sensors is considered. Given the sinusoidal frequency, a simple delay estimator using the phase di erence of the discrete time Fourier transforms (DTFTs) of the received signals is devised. With the use of periodogram, the algorithm is extended to estimate the delay when the frequenc...

We address the problem of passive blind estimation of time-delays for several mutually uncorrelated source signals received by a similar number of sensors. The mixtures at the receivers are modeled as unknown linear combinations of differently delayed versions of the source signals. The standard tools used in blind source separation (BSS) for either static or convolutive mixtures are inappropri...

| Assuming a multipath propagation scenario, we derive a closed-form subspace-based method for the simultaneous estimation of arrival angles and path delays from measured channel impulse responses, using knowledge of the transmitted pulse shape function and assuming a uniform linear array and uniform sampling. The algorithm uses a 2-D ESPRIT-like shift-invariance technique to separate and estim...

Delay estimation of a code-spread code-division multiple-access (CS-CDMA) system using low-rate maximum free distance (MFD) convolutional codes for bandwidth expansion is studied. The MFD codes used, have a repetitive structure, which is utilized for non-data-aided synchronization. The repetition pattern of the code is optimized for good delay estimation properties, using an optimization criter...
