Abstract

There are many applications for which it is important to resolve the location and motion of a target position. For the static situation in which a target transmitter and several receivers are not in motion, the target may be completely resolved by triangulation using relative time delays estimated by several receivers at known locations. These delays are normally estimated from the location of peaks in the magnitude of the cross-correlation function. For active radars, a transmitted signal is reflected by the target, and range and radial velocity are estimated from the delay and Doppler effects on the received signal. In this process, Doppler effects are conventionally modeled as a shift in frequency, and delay and Doppler are estimated from a cross-ambiguity function (CAF) in which delay and Doppler frequency shift are assumed to be independent and approximately constant. Delay and Doppler are jointly estimated as the location of the peak magnitude of the CAF plane. We present methods for accurately estimating delay for the static case and delay and the time-varying Doppler effects for non-static models, such as the radar model.
