The present disclosure provides a cross-correlation based method, a system and a storage medium for blind electromagnetic interference Doppler estimation from a single satellite geolocation system. The method includes at a first time, calculating a power spectral density (PSD) of a received signal; smoothing the PSD of the received signal using moving window average, and saving the smoothed PSD of the received signal as PSD0; at a next time, calculating a PSD of another received signal; smoothing the PSD of the another received signal using moving window average, and saving the smoothed PSD of the another received signal as PSD1; performing cross correlation between PSD0 and PSD1 to obtain a cross-correlation result; determining a peak position from the cross-correlation result; and obtaining a Doppler estimation based on a peak position shift between the peak position and a reference position.

Determining emitter locations

First information corresponding to a radio signal received at a first sensing device from a candidate location is obtained. Second information corresponding to a radio signal received at a second sensing device from the candidate location is obtained. A first relationship between the first sensing device and the candidate location and a second relationship between the second sensing device and the candidate location are determined. A first inverse and a second inverse of respectively the first and second relationships are obtained. A first estimate of the radio signal at the first sensing device is determined from the first information and the first inverse. A second estimate of the radio signal at the second sensing device is determined from the second information and the second inverse. Energy emitted from the candidate location is measured based on the first estimate and the second estimate.

DETECTING RADIO SIGNAL EMITTER LOCATIONS

First information is obtained from a sensing device at a first time. The first information corresponds to a radio signal received at the device from a candidate location. The device is at a first location at the first time. Second information is obtained from the device at a second time. The second information corresponds to a radio signal received at the device from the candidate location. The device is at a second location at the second time. A system determines that a pattern is in each of the first and second information and determines relationships between the candidate location and the device at each first and second location. The system obtains inverses of the relationships and determines estimates of the received radio signals based on the information and inverses. The system measures or estimates energy emitted from the candidate location based on the estimates.
