Abstract

In this paper, the performance of coherent time delay estimation techniques for frequency hopping GSM signals is investigated. It is demonstrated that the techniques enable the usage of a substantially higher bandwidth for time delay estimation and localization purposes compared to state-of-the-art techniques. Since resolution and noise performance directly depend on the applied bandwidth of the signals, major improvements can be realized. For E-GSM 900 systems, an overall bandwidth of up to 35 MHz may be used which enables time delay estimation and localization in the scale of a few meters. The coherent time delay estimation techniques are therefore ideally suited for search and rescue applications.
