Time-delay estimation technique is a key to acoustic temperature field measurement. In order to acquire a stable acoustic time-of-flight in low SNR, a time-delay estimation method combined multilayer cross-correlation and multilayer auto-correlation (MC method for short) is proposed. Crosscorrelation method and second correlation method are described briefly for comparison. Theory analysis and ...

The problem of estimating the di erence in arrival times of a 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 frequency is u...

in this paper, behavior of teleoperation systems with modeling error and delay time error in smith predictor is discussed. in teleoperation systems, modeling error is inevitable. this paper discusses stability of teleoperation systems with modeling error. first, error of delay time in teleoperation systems by using of internet as communication channel is considered and the performance of smith ...

Time-delay estimation is widely used in sonar and radar applications. In order to estimate time delay accurately in variable signal to noise ratio(SNR), an improved algorithm of adaptive time delay estimation(TDE) based on fourth-order cumulants has been proposed in this paper. The single adaptive filter in the conventional model is separated into two adaptive subunits connected in cascade, one...
