Application of Novel Signal Processing Algorithms for the Detection and Minimization of Skywave Interfering Signals in Loran Receivers

2011 (English)In: Applied Signal and Image Processing: Multidisciplinary Advancements / [ed] Qahwaji, Rami; Green, Roger; Hines, Evor, Hershey: IGI Global , 2011, p. 28-44Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

Skywave interference commonly affects Loran receivers’ performance. Traditional skywave rejectionmethods that use fixed, worst-case, sample timing are far from optimal. This chapter reports on novel signal processing techniques for measuring in real-time the delay and strength of the varying skywave components of a Loran signal relative to the groundwave pulse. The merits and limitations of these techniques will be discussed. Their effectiveness will be assessed by theoretical analysis, computer simulations under a range of realistic conditions, and by testing using off-air signals. A prototype Loran system employing the proposed techniques is also presented. This work establishes a basis on which to design a Loran receiver capable of adjusting its sampling point adaptively to the optimal value in a constantly-changing skywave environment. Such receivers promise to improve significantly the accuracy and reliability of positioning under adverse operational conditions.
