20110170576 | RANGING APPARATUS, POSITIONING APPARATUS, AND METHODS OF RANGING AND POSITIONING THEREFOR - A multipath mitigation technology (MMT) can mitigate the influence of multipath when a received signal is composed of a single direct-path wave and a single multipath wave. However, in an actual environment, it is not always true that the number of multipath wave is only one. When a plurality of multipath waves is included in the received signal, the influence of multipath cannot be completely removed. On the contrary, when no multipath wave is included, an error occurs because a single direct-path wave is deemed as a single direct-path wave and a single multipath wave for estimation. In addition, difficulties arise in calculation when maximum likelihood estimation is performed targeting a time-domain signal. A positioning apparatus estimates parameters for a signal model by applying thereto the maximum likelihood estimation in the frequency domain, and estimates the signal model based on an information criterion, so that multipath errors are mitigated. | 07-14-2011 |
