Pseudorange reconstruction for high‐dynamic eLoran signal simulators using B‐spline interpolation

Abstract

AbstractThe High‐Dynamic enhanced Loran (eLoran) signal simulator must accurately model the motion parameters and dynamic transmission delays of the carriers in the channel. A method was proposed based on B‐Spline interpolation, capable of arbitrary ratio interpolation and multi‐channel simulation. This method can regenerate carrier‐to‐transmitter distances from available discrete motion asynchronous data, it can effectively reproduce more motion details for carrier. The algorithm can be implemented using digital circuits, allowing for real‐time simulation on a hardware platform. The circuit structure is divided into integer and fractional calculations, which can satisfy the interpolation of asynchronous data with arbitrary ratios. Compared with existing methods, the approach simulates the motion parameters with satisfactory accuracy.
