현대 전자전 지원 시스템에서는 TDOA (time difference of arrival)나 FDOA (frequency difference of arrival)와 같은 비도래각 정보를 이용하여 미상 신호원의 위치를 추정하는 정밀 위치추정 기법의 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 기존의 단일 TDOA 기반 기법에 관한 연구는 위치추정 알고리즘뿐만 아니라 측정 정확도 향상에 대해 다양한 진척이 이루어졌으며, 최근에는 TDOA와 FDOA 정보를 동시에 사용하여 적은 수신단 수로 보다 많은 정보를 획득할 수 있고 신호원의 속도 추정이 가능한 복합 위치추정 시스템에 관한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 이러한 과정에서 TDOA/FDOA 복합 위치추정 시스템이 기존 단일 TDOA 시스템을 대체할 수 있는 추정 성능을 갖기 위해 요구되는 FDOA 측정 정확도와 성능분석 과정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 CRLB (Cramer-Lao lower bound)의 분석을 통해 TDOA/FDOA 위치추정 시스템이 단일 TDOA 위치추정 시스템에 비해 향상된 추정 정확도를 갖기 위해 요구되는 FDOA 측정 정확도의 기준과 이에 따른 기여도를 분석하고, Gauss-Newton 알고리즘을 이용하여 분석 결과를 검증한다.

For a localization system, the TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) measurement and AOA (Angle of Arrival) measurement are often used for estimating target's positions. Although it is known that the accuracy of TDOA based localization is superior to that of AOA based one, it may have a poor vertical accuracy in bad geometrical conditions. This paper, therefore, proposes a localization algorithm in which the vertical position is estimated by AOA measurements and the horizontal one is estimated by TDOA measurement in order to achieve high 3D-location accuracy. And this algorithm is applied to a GPS jammer localization systems because it has a large value of the DOP (Dilution of Precision) when the jammer is located far away from the system. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid TDOA/AOA location algorithm gives much higher location accuracy than TDOA or AOA only location.

In case that multiple jammers are transmitting the signals which are the same type a general algorithm based on TDOA method cannot estimate the positions of multiple jammers because there are many TDOA measurements including true and false values. This paper, therefore, designs a new algorithm based on TDOA method to localize multiple jammers. In this algorithm, TDOA measurements are obtained by rotating the reference sensor, and then the positions of multiple jammers can be estimated by detecting congregated point among the multiple estimated positions from TDOA measurements. Through computer simulations, it is verified that this algorithm localizes the multiple jammers well. The performance of the algorithm are also analysed by changing the distance between sensors and jammer, and sampling frequency.

본 논문은 CDMA 단말기의 위치추정방법으로 기지국 순방향 Pilot신호의 단말기 도착시간의 차(TDOA)를 이용하는 기법을 제안한다. 단말기 Searcher는 기지국의 Pilot신호를 획득하여 TDOA를 측정한다. 이를 위하여 Searcher의 Processing 이득은 매우 중요하다. 이득은 신호의 동기누적구간에 비례함을 이론적으로 유도하고 분석하였으며 이를 증거함으로서 미약한 Pilot신호의 획득과 안정적인 TDOA값의 측정이 가능함을 Field 시험하였다. 또한, 신호의 세기는 전송거리에 따라 지수적으로 감쇄한다. 그러므로, Searcher 이득의 향상은 기지국에서 멀리 떨어진 곳에서도 Pilot신호의 획득을 가능하게 한다. 셀 내 신호세기에 대하여 가능한 위치추정영역의 변화를 컴퓨터로 모의실험 하였다. Shadow 영향을 무시하고도 90%이상의 영역을 포함하기 위하여 -35dB이하의 신호검출이 필요함을 제시하였다. 따라서, 미약한 Pilot신호 획득을 통한 위치추정영역의 확장과 안정적인 TDOA값의 측정을 위하여 Searcher 동기누적구간의 최대화가 요구된다.

This paper proposes a Taylor-series design method which reduces the height error of the tag when readers are arranged at the same height in 3-dimensional space. The proposed method consists of two steps. Firstly, the planar position is estimated by the Taylor-series method using the TDOA measurement. Next, the height is estimated from the estimated planar position. In order to show the validity of the proposed method, computer simulations were performed for the static case and linear trajectory of the tag. Results show that the proposed method gives convergent estimated position and better height estimate than the Taylor series method.

In the moving target problem, the velocity information of the moving target is very important as well as the high accuracy position information. To solve this problem, active researches are being conducted recently with combine the Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) and Frequency Delay of Arrival(FDOA) measurements. However, since the FDOA measurement is utilizing the Doppler effect due to the relative velocity between the target source and the receiver sensor, it may be difficult to use the FDOA measurement if the moving target speed is not sufficiently fast. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating the position and the velocities of the target by using only the TDOA measurements for the low speed moving target in the indoor environment with sensor network. First, the target position and heading angle are obtained from the estimated positions of two attached transmitters on the target. Then, the target angular and linear velocities are also estimated. In addtion, we apply the Instrumental Variable (IV) technique to compensate the estimation error of the estimated target velocity. In simulation, the performance of the proposed algorithm is verified.

항법 장치가 존재하지 않거나 전파 방해가 발생할 경우, 고속 이동체의 전파 항법은 불가능해진다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 다수의 지상국이 존재하며 고속 이동체와 지상국간의 정밀 거리 측정치를 확보할 수 있다면 이동체의 위치 추정이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 텔레메트리 (TLM; telemetry) 신호를 사용하여 생성한 고정밀 TDOA (time difference of arrival) 측정치를 이용한 위치 추정 방식을 제안한다. 제안한 방식에서는 TDOA 측정치를 사용하여 이동체의 공통 오차를 제거하였다. 또한 SOQPSK (shaped offset quadrature phase shift keying) PN (pseudo random noise) 심볼을 포함하여 정밀 시각 동기 및 측정이 가능한 TLM 신호를 기반으로 한 측정치를 사용하였다. 따라서 시스템 내 정밀 시각 동기가 이뤄진 상태이므로 지상국간의 시각 동기 오차가 매우 작은 값을 가진다. 이는 측정치의 정밀도를 높여 위치 추정 성능을 향상시킨다. 제안한 방식은 소프트웨어 기반의 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증되었으며, 고속 이동체의 위치 추정 성능이 목표했던 성능을 만족함을 확인하였다.

Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) algorithm was applied to sound source positioning. Using measured microphones signal, difference of distance from source to sensors were estimated by TDOA and speed of sound, and taken by navigational measurements. And iteration procedures were induced to find the actual source location. For the case of stationary and moving sound source, validation test were performed in the anechoic room. In the stationary case, the error of positioning is less then 1.3% in length scale, and it could be seen proper filtering processes were required in the application of moving sound source.

The Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) algorithm is being used widely for identifying the location of a source emanating either electrical or acoustic signal. It's application areas will not be limited to identifying the source at a fixed location, for example the origin of an earthquake, but will also include the trajectory monitoring for a moving source equipped with a GPS sensor. Most of the TDOA algorithm uses time correlation technique to find the time delay between received signals, and therefore difficult to be used for identifying the location of multiple sources. In this paper a TDOA algorithm based on cross-spectrum is developed to find the trajectory of two sound sources with different frequencies. Although its application is limited to for the sources on a disk plane, but it can be applied for identifying the locations of more than two sources simultaneously.

TOA(time-of-arrival) and TDOA(time-difference-of-arrival) positioning techniques are commonly used in many radio-navigation systems. From the literature, it is known that the position estimate and error covariance matrix of TDOA obtained by GN(Gauss-Newton) method is exactly the same as that of TOA when the error source of the range measurement is only an IID white Gaussian noise. In case of geo-location and indoor positioning, however, multi-path or NLOS(non-line-of-sight) error is frequently appeared in range measurements. Though its occurrence is random, the multipath acts like a bias for a stationary user if it occurs. This paper presents the comparisons of error characteristics between TOA and TDOA positioning in presence of multi-path or NLOS error. It is analytically shown that the position estimate of TDOA is exactly the same as that of TOA even when bias errors are included in range measurements with different magnitudes. By computer simulation, position estimation error and error distribution are analyzed in presence of range bias errors.
