Determination of time-difference of arrival and angle of arrival

摘要

The delay between two signals is determined by obtaining zero crossings from each signal, and using each crossing to trigger the sampling of the other signal. Two samples are taken in response to each zero crossing, and the difference between those two samples is calculated. This difference is summed for each event and both signals to derive a value. The process is repeated for different delays between the first and second signals. The values are examined to determine the delay which corresponds to the greatest coincidence between the signals.
