A Hardware Design for Time Delay Estimation of TDOA † Qiang Li, WEI Xia , Yanxiong Zhang, Xiang Jing, Zishu He School of Electronic Engineering University of Electronic Science and Technology of China Chengdu, China Abstract— As Time difference of arrival (TDOA) needs high precision data for time delay estimation, a hardware system which can sample high precision data is presented in this paper. II. HARDWARE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FPGA and DSP are taken as the general architecture in the The passive TDOA system block diagram is shown in Fig hardware design. The precision of the system is improved by 1. We get the analog intermediate frequency signal from the using GPS to synchronize time. The structure of the hardware system and the realization of data collection design flow are radio-frequency front. Then the analog signal is converted to introduced. Finally, an estimation of time delay result by the digital signal by ADC device. In the FPGA subsystem, we get cross correlation method will be given. Experiment results show time domain baseband data by the digital down convert and the hardware design is effective and feasibility. filtering the digital signal data.
