摘要:

超宽带(UWB)信号的高时间分辨率有助于基于到达时间(TOA)测量的非常精确的定位能力。虽然TOA估计的理论下限可以通过最大似然原理来实现,但由于需要极高的采样率和大量多径分量的存在,这是不切实际的。另一方面,传统的基于相关的算法,串行搜索可能的信号延迟,需要很长的时间来估计接收到的UWB信号的TOA。此外,第一信号路径并不总是具有最强的相关输出。因此,首先需要考虑路径检测算法。本文提出了一种数据辅助的两步TOA估计算法。为了加速估计过程,第一步骤基于接收信号能量来估计接收信号的粗略TOA。然后,在第二步骤中,通过考虑假设检验方法来估计第一信号路径的到达时间。该方案使用低速率的相关输出,并能够在合理的时间间隔内执行准确的TOA估计。仿真结果分析了估计器的性能。

英文摘要:

High time resolution of ultra wideband (UWB) signals facilitates very precise positioning capabilities based on time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements. Although the theoretical lower bound for TOA estimation can be achieved by the maximum likelihood principle, it is impractical due to the need for extremely high-rate sampling and the presence of large number of multipath components. On the other hand, the conventional correlation-based algorithm, which serially searches possible signal delays, takes a very long time to estimate the TOA of a received UWB signal. Moreover, the first signal path does not always have the strongest correlation output. Therefore, first path detection algorithms need to be considered. In this paper, a data-aided two-step TOA estimation algorithm is proposed. In order to speed up the estimation process, the first step estimates the rough TOA of the received signal based on received signal energy. Then, in the second step, the arrival time of the first signal path is estimated by considering a hypothesis testing approach. The proposed scheme uses low-rate correlation outputs, and is able to perform accurate TOA estimation in reasonable time intervals. The simulation results are presented to analyze the performance of the estimator.
