Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are disclosed for characterizing multipath-induced distortions in the autocorrelation function of a correlation receiver in order to reduce effects of these multipath-induced distortions on the accuracy of detecting the time of arrival of a received signal. The magnitude of the multipath-induced errors adversely affecting the shape of the autocorrelation function is estimated in real time, for example, through the use of secondary scanning correlators whose time base is independent of a typical receiver's detection-oriented correlators. This error is subtracted from the detection-oriented correlator's timing, thereby yielding a more accurate autocorrelation function.
