Improving Signal-to-Noise Ratio Estimation for Autonomous Receivers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method by which a popular signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimator can be reconfigured to yield improved performance is proposed. The reconfiguration consists of partitioning the symbol interval into a larger (but even) number of subdivisions than the two that have been traditionally suggested for this estimator but still processing the observables in successive pairs. The optimum number of subdivisions is shown to depend on the SNR range in which the true SNR lies; however, we also show that these SNR regions can be significantly widened with very little loss in performance. Most important is the fact that, with this reconfiguration, the SNR estimator tracks the Cramer–Rao bound on the variance of the estimator over the entire range of SNR values.

A Novel Sampling Approach in GNSS-RO Receivers with Open Loop Tracking Method
Propagation of radio occultation (RO) signals through the lower troposphere results in high phase acceleration and low signal to noise ratio signal. The excess Doppler estimation accuracy in lower troposphere is very important in receiving RO signals which can be estimated by sliding window spectral analysis. To do this, various frequency estimation methods such as MUSIC and ESPRIT can be adopt...
متن کاملEnhancement of Noise Performance in Digital Receivers by Over Sampling the Received Signal
In wireless channel the noise has a zero mean. This channel property can be used in the enhancement of the noise performance in the digital receivers by oversampling the received signal and calculating the decision variable based on the time average of more than one sample of the received signal. The averaging process will reduce the effect of the noise in the decision variable that will approa...
متن کاملA Novel Interference Rejection Method for GPS Receivers
This paper proposes a new method for rejecting the Continuous Wave Interferences (CWI) in the Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. The proposed filter is made by cascading an adaptive Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter and a Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) based filter. Although adaptive FIR filters are easy to implement and have a linear phase, they create self-noise in the rejection of...

Accurate and correct performance of controller in cruise control systems is important. Hence, in such systems, controller should optimize itself against noise and probable changes in system dynamic. As a matter of fact, in this article three approaches have been conducted to-ward this purpose: MIT, direct estimation and indirect estimation. These approaches are used as controllers to track refe...
متن کاملSignal-to-Noise Ratio Estimation
Of the many measures that characterize the performance of a communication receiver, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is perhaps the most fundamental in that many of the other measures directly depend on its knowledge for their evaluation. In the design of receivers for autonomous operation, it is desirable that the estimation of SNR take place with as little known information as possible regarding o...
