Abstract
This letter proposes a high-resolution multipath time delay estimation (TDE) method for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing linear frequency modulation (OFDM-LFM) signals. Leveraging the expression of OFDM-LFM signals in the fractional domain, where the compressed subcarriers conform to a linear uniform arrangement, the algorithm combines with the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm for TDE. Simulation results show that regardless of the presence of Doppler effect, OFDM-LFM results in less relative root mean square error (RRMSE) compared to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Furthermore, the superiority of OFDM-LFM signals is particularly evident at lower signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). So the proposed algorithm offers promising implications for TDE in mobile scenarios.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Signal Processing Letters is a monthly, archival publication designed to provide rapid dissemination of original, cutting-edge ideas and timely, significant contributions in signal, image, speech, language and audio processing. Papers published in the Letters can be presented within one year of their appearance in signal processing conferences such as ICASSP, GlobalSIP and ICIP, and also in several workshop organized by the Signal Processing Society.
