Cramer-Rao lower bound analysis of shortwave time difference measurements based on channel model
The key of time difference location is to extract time difference with high precision.Due to the complexity of ionosphere,the traditional time difference estimation algorithm based on cross correlation can-not extract the time delay information of short wave signal,in this paper,the ionospheric electron density information is obtained by using the international reference ionospheric model,the Vogler channel model is constructed by using the numerical ray tracing method,and the time delay estimation of shortwave signal is obtained.The Cramer-Rao lower bound(CRLB)of shortwave time difference measurement is derived un-der the background that the signal correlation is not affected by Doppler extension.The simulation results show that CRLB is related to sampling time,radio frequency and input signal-to-noise ratio,and the CRLB of time difference measurement in winter is lower than that in summer.
