Fig. 5 (b) represents when two wave pattern transmission paths from the correlated series Rf(k that the 1st correlation calculation unit 2 exports).At this, suppose that the time of delay of delay ripple is 200 samples, D/U is 6 [dB].In the drawings, there is the relevant peaks corresponding with main ripple when k=0, there is the relevant peaks corresponding with postponing ripple when k=200, there is unnecessary peak in the position leaving 255 at each peak relative.
Below, the correlated series Rb(k obtained by the 2nd correlation calculation unit 4 in Fig. 1 is described).Fig. 6 (a) represents the correlated series Rb(k exported from the 2nd correlation calculation unit 4).As shown in Figure 4 (b), Rb(k) be with the beginning sample of PN sequence Tb for benchmark and make the beginning sample shift k sample of the frame head Hf comprised in Received signal strength Rs time, calculate the relevant result obtained of these sequences.In figure 4 (b), when k=165, the PN sequence comprised in Received signal strength Rs is completely the same with the PN sequence Tb generated by 2PN sequence generating unit 3, so in figure 6 (a), can obtain the correlation peak with the amplitude be directly proportional to incoming level when k=165.Further, in figure 4 (b), when k=-90, a part for the PN sequence comprised in Received signal strength Rs is consistent with the part of the PN sequence Tb generated by 2PN sequence generating unit 3, so in figure 6 (a), produces unnecessary relevant peaks when k=-90.
Fig. 6 (b) represent from during two wave pattern transmission paths from the 2nd correlation calculation unit 4 export correlated series Rb(k).At this, suppose that the time of delay of delay ripple is 200 samples, D/U is 6 [dB].In the drawings, there is the relevant peaks corresponding with main ripple when k=165, there is the relevant peaks corresponding with postponing ripple when k=365, there is unnecessary peak in the position leaving 255 at each peak relative.

Herein, in formula (9a), the 2nd, the left side " 290y " represents R1(k) in the correlation peak corresponding with incoming wave that comprise, the 1st, the left side " 150x " represent with above-mentioned incoming wave be benchmark, the unnecessary correlation peak that causes of signal that arrives of advanced 255 samples, the 3rd, the left side " 50z " represent with above-mentioned incoming wave be benchmark, the unnecessary correlation peak that causes of the signal that arrives of delayed 255 samples.That is, the value (290) be multiplied with y is the correlation peak R1a corresponding with incoming wave comprised in the correlated series shown in Figure 11 (a), and the value be multiplied with x, z (150,50) is unnecessary peak value R1b, the R1c shown in Figure 11 (a).
The correlated results R2(k of Received signal strength Rs and PN sequence T2, T3), R3(k) and the correlated results R1(k of Received signal strength Rs and PN sequence T1) same, also can utilize following formula (9b), (9c) represent.
110x+250y+50z=R2(k)......(9b)
85x+200y+25z=R3(k)......(9c)
Wherein, x, z represent the incoming level of the incoming wave causing unnecessary relevant peaks, and y represents the incoming level of desired incoming wave.Namely, the value (250) be multiplied with the y in formula (9b) is the correlation peak R2a corresponding with incoming wave comprised in the correlated series shown in Figure 11 (b), the value (110,50) be multiplied with x, z is unnecessary peak value R2b, the R2c shown in Figure 11 (b), the value (200) be multiplied with the y in formula (9c) is the correlation peak R3a corresponding with incoming wave comprised in the correlated series shown in Figure 11 (c), and the value be multiplied with x, the z in formula (9c) (85,25) is unnecessary peak value R3b, the R3c shown in Figure 11 (c).
Formula (9a), (9b), (9c) are simultaneous equationss x, y, z being set to known variables.
If the peak value shown in Figure 11 (a) ~ (c) is replaced into the mark shown in this figure, and by formula (9a) ~ (9c) vague generalization, then obtain following formula (10a) ~ (10c).
R1b·x+R1a·y+R1c·z=R1(k) …(10a)
R2b·x+R2a·y+R2c·z=R2(k) …(10b)
R3b·x+R3a·y+R3c·z=R3(k) …(10c)
Following formula represents solution during simultaneous solution formula (9a) ~ (9c).
x={15×R1(k)-11×R2(k)-8×R3(k)}/360 …(11a)

…(11c)
Distribution Value computing unit 17 in Fig. 9 from the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd correlation calculation unit 14,15,16 export correlation R1(k), R2(k), R3(k) substitute into formula (11a), (11b), (11c), obtain the solution of simultaneous solution formula (9a), (9b), (9c) for each sample.Further, the y that these 3 are separated in x, y, z is exported as the estimated result postponing distribution.
Such as, when there is an incoming wave (the main ripple of 3 shown in Figure 12 (b) ~ (d), 1st postpones ripple, 2nd postpones ripple) time, Figure 12 (a), Figure 13 (a), shown in Figure 14 (a), from the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd correlation calculation unit 14, 15, the 16 correlated series R1(k exported), R2(k), R3(k) the correlated results R1(0 in during k=0) (=290 α+50 β), R2(0) (=250 α+50 β), R3(0) (=200 α+25 β) substitutes into formula (11a), (11b), (11c), then x=0, y=α, z=β, y becomes the incoming level of main ripple.
Further, the correlated results R1(255 during k=255), R2(255), R3(255) substitute into formula (11a), (11b), (11c), then x=α, y=β, z=γ, y become the incoming level that the 1st postpones ripple.
Correlated results R1(510 during k=510), R2(510), R3(510) substitute into formula (11a), (11b), (11c), then x=β, y=γ, z=0, y become the incoming level that the 2nd postpones ripple.
Further, not existing in the scope of relevant peaks, correlated results becomes very little value, so x, y, z is all the less value of convergence 0.
Be explained above the peak value R1a of correlation, R1b, R1c, R2a, R2b, R2c, R3a, R3b, R3c is the situation of the value shown in Figure 11 (a) ~ (c), but, in general, simultaneous formula 10(a) ~ (c) solve about y, generate peak value R1a ~ R3c and correlated series R1(k), R2(k), R3(k) as variable, represent the formula (formula identical with formula (11b)) of y, the correlated series R1(k for any k is substituted into) in the formula generated like this, R2(k), R3(k) value, obtain the value of the delay distribution of this k thus.The sequence of the value that whole k obtains is become and postpones distribution y(k).
As mentioned above, when the delay ripple that the delay-time difference that there is relatively main ripple is equal with set PN sequence length, the delay distribution estimation unit of execution mode 2 also can remove unnecessary relevant peaks, accurate estimated delay distribution.In other words, unnecessary relevant peaks can be removed, only export the relevant peaks corresponding with incoming wave.Further, need not carry out reprocessing can distribute by estimated delay, so compared with method in the past, has the effect that amount of calculation reduces.
In addition, amount of calculation can both be reduced in embodiments of the present invention 1 and execution mode 2, so can the energy consumption of cutting device.
