基于多相关器的多径最大似然估计方法,通过对接收机信号与本地码的相关曲线进行多点采样,建立相关输出的模型,利用最大似然法估计直射信号与多径信号各个参数。采用等间距选取估计点以简化最大似然估计的思想,提出一种基于多相关器的新的多径估计方法,选取更为合理的多相关器采样点配置方案,使估计不受无效多径信号的干扰,并且联合处理同相和正交两个支路的输出,可以得到多径信号的延迟、幅度和载波相位的信息。仿真试验表明,在一定的信噪比下,采用本文的方法可以实现较为准确的多径估计。
Muhicorrelator-based maximum likelihood estimation is one of the methods for multipath estimation, in which the correlation curve between received and local signals is sampled by a bank of correlators and the correlation outputs are obtained, then the parameters of direct and multipath signals is estimated by using maximum likelihood estimation. In this paper, a novel muhicorrelator-based GPS muhipath estimation method is proposed by uniformly deploying estimation points to simplify the maximum likelihood estimation. A proper configuration for the bank of correlators is advised to prevent the interference from ineffective multipath signals. By jointly processing the in-phase and quadrature outputs, the delay, amplitude, and carrier phase information of multipath signals can be calculated. Simulation tests demonstrate the validity of the method proposed in this paper.
