Eigen-decomposition Techniques for Skywave Interference Detection in Loran-C Receivers

摘要

The high-resolution ESPRIT eigen-decompostion technique is applied to thernproblem of estimating the delay of Loran-C skywaves. The performance of thisrntechnique is evaluated and compared with Fourier-based methods. The simulationrnresults show that the ESPRIT algorithm yields good estimation accuracy and thatrnit can also operate successfully with noisy signals. Results using o®-air data con¯rmrnthese conclusions.
