Methods for mutual time delay estimation of wideband signals propagating in satellite communication systems are proposed. The signals are propagated in different channels and received with low signal-to-noise ratio. A characteristic feature of satellite channel is the presence of the Doppler Effect, which leads to a shift and scaling the signal spectrums. The proposed approaches are based on the separation of narrow-band channels from the studied signals, using non-linear digital filtering algorithms in each channel, and subsequent optimal (correlation) processing. The accuracy of the proposed methods and the reliability of the determination of time delay are investigated.
