摘要
为了在弱信号环境下准确估计卫星信号载噪比,提出一种可自适应调整估计时间,基于最大似然准则的载噪比估计算法。在分析GPS信号相关器模型输出的基础上,对该算法的原理和性能进行了理论分析,研究了相干累加次数对该算法的影响,并在仿真平台上进行验证。仿真结果与理论推导吻合,在信号很弱时可通过提高累加次数对载噪比进行准确估计。相对传统载噪比估计算法,该算法估计时间较短,估值准确。根据理论推导求出满足精度要求的最小累加次数,用于自适应调整估计更新时间,可提高算法的灵活性。
In order to estimate the carrier to noise ratio under the weak signal environment,an algorithm based on the maximum likelihood criterion has been proposed which can change the update time adaptively.On the basis of GPS correlator output model,the algorithm performance is analyzed theoretically,the coherent accumulation times impact on the accuracy of the estimation.The simulation results agree with the theoretical derivation,which verify that the accuracy can be assured by increasing accumulation times under the noise environment.Compared with the traditional carrier to noise ratio estimation algorithm,the method consumes shorter time with good accuracy.Also the minimum cumulative number to meet accuracy requirements can increase the flexibility of the algorithm by adjusting estimation update time adaptively.
