摘 要: | The time delay estimation(TDE)of two different received sig-nals from the same source has attracted many interests of researchers inthe field of signal processing.A method described for precisely estimatingtime delay in this paper is based on the assumption that little prioriknowledge on statistical characteristics is available for the received signals.The variance of the estimate is derived.The basic architecture of thismethod is to use the adaptive noise canceller,in the steady state,andto interpolate the weight coefficients by using a generalized quadratic inter-polation matrix.The formula of the time delay estimation is presented.The method proposed by F.A.Reed is a special case of this method.The hardware implementation is much easier than that of theconventional time delay estimation method.The results of the systemsimulation and the experimental results at sea show a good agreementwith the theoretical analysis.
