发明名称 Systems and methods of frequency estimation for geolocation
摘要 A method includes computing a cross-spectral surface of a signal. The method further includes determining initial frequency estimates to be points on the cross-spectral surface. The method further includes performing a polynomial interpolation to generate an initial frequency polynomial. The method further includes integrating the initial frequency polynomial to generate an initial phase polynomial. The method further includes processing the signal to generate a basebanded signal. The method further includes determining unwrapped phase values of the basebanded signal. The method further includes performing a second polynomial interpolation to generate a residual phase polynomial. The method further includes generating an updated phase polynomial based on the initial phase polynomial and the residual phase polynomial. The method further includes differentiating the updated phase polynomial to generate a polynomial approximation of the time-varying carrier frequency of the received signal.

主权项 1. A computer-implemented method of generating a polynomial approximation of a time-varying carrier frequency of a received signal, the method comprising: (A) computing, in a processor of a computing system, a cross-spectral surface of the received signal, wherein the cross-spectral surface is a function of at least time and frequency; (B) for each of a first series of times, determining, in the processor an initial frequency estimate to be a point on the cross-spectral surface; (C) performing, in the processor, a first polynomial interpolation based on the initial frequency estimates to generate an initial frequency polynomial; (D) integrating, in the processor, the initial frequency polynomial to generate an initial phase polynomial; (E) processing, in the processor, the received signal to generate a basebanded signal using the initial phase polynomial; (F) for each of a second series of times, determining, in the processor, an unwrapped phase value of the basebanded signal; (G) performing, in the processor, a second polynomial interpolation based on the unwrapped phase values to generate a residual phase polynomial; (H) generating, in the processor, an updated phase polynomial based on the initial phase polynomial and the residual phase polynomial; and (I) differentiating, in the processor, the updated phase polynomial to generate the polynomial approximation of the time-varying carrier frequency of the received signal.
