Abstract

We considered two methods of multi-channel processing that allow increasing measurement accuracy of the time of arrival. The time of arrival was determined by the threshold method “at the detection threshold level”. We considered the statistical characteristics dependences of the arrival time on the relative orientation of the transmitter and receiver antennas and the signal to noise ratio.
