The occurrence of an overlapping signal is a significant problem in performing multiple objects localization. Doppler velocity is sensitive to the echo shape and is also able to be connected to the physical properties of moving objects, especially for a pulse compression ultrasonic signal. The expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm has the ability to achieve signal separation. Thus, applying the EM algorithm to the overlapping pulse compression signals is of interest. This paper describes a proposed method, based on the EM algorithm, of Doppler velocity estimation for overlapping linear-period-modulated (LPM) ultrasonic signals. Simulations are used to validate the proposed method.

Abstract Velocity is one of the main navigation parameters of moving objects. However some systems of position estimation using radio wave measurements cannot provide velocity data due to limitation of their performance. In this paper a velocity measurement method for the DS-CDMA radio navigation system is proposed, which does not require full synchronization of reference stations carrier frequencies. The article presents basics of FDOA (frequency difference of arrival) velocity measurements together with application of this method to an experimental radio navigation system called AEGIR and with some suggestions about the possibility to implement such FDOA measurements in other kinds of asynchronous DS-CDMA radio networks. The main part of this paper present results of performance evaluation of the proposed method, based on laboratory measurements
