Determination method in allusion to homogenous signal time difference under multipath environment

Abstract

The invention relates to a determination method in allusion to homogenous signal time difference under a multipath environment. The determination method comprises the following steps of: establishing a received signal sample, determining residual errors including self-correlation processing and determination of auto-regression parameters and finally determining time difference of two paths of signals through acquiring a cross-correlation spectrum of residual errors of two paths of signals. According to the invention, compared with the prior art that two paths of received homogenous sampled signals are directly cross-correlated, the determination method disclosed by the invention has the characteristics that residual errors of two paths of sampled signals are cross-correlated by an auto-regression method to ensure that related peak shapes are sharp and are still easy to distinguish even though arrival time difference of each signal is shorter, thereby effectively improving the time difference measurement resolution rate and accuracy; and the time difference value measured by the determination method accords with the theoretical value. Therefore, the determination method has the characteristics of being high in resolution ratio of the cross-correlation spectrum of sampled signals under the multipath environment, effectively improving the signal time difference determination accuracy, providing accurate parameters for subsequent positioning of a target signal source and the like.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a method for measuring the time difference in a multipath environment in the field of electronic information technology, and particularly relates to a method for measuring the time difference of each signal receiver for a homologous signal in a multipath environment. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of signal arrival time difference positioning technology, radio positioning technology has been widely used in the field of radio monitoring. AOA (Angle of Arrival Positioning), TOA (Time of Arrival Positioning), and TDOA (Time of Arrival Positioning) are currently the most promising cellular system mobile station positioning technologies. The arrival time difference, or arrival time delay, refers to the time difference between the homologous signals received by different receivers in the receiver array due to different transmission distances. Determining the time difference is an important part of signal detecti...
