Abstract

Estimation of time delay between signals received at two spatially separated sensors has considerable practical importance in the applications like source localization, direction finding etc. , in RADAR, SONAR and other communication systems. In this paper cross correlation (CC) generalized cross correlation with phase transform (GCC-PHAT) and maximum likelihood (ML) estimation methods are used as the time delay estimation methods. Prior to the delay estimation, the received signals are de-noised by AdaBoost based EMD technique. The performance of the delay estimation is significantly degraded by the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) level and hence this factor has been considered as a principal factor. The simulation results of the proposed method are compared with the basic EMD as a de-noising technique at various SNR levels. The results show that the proposed method improves the resolution in the delay estimation in the noisy environment.
