Abstract

Abstract: The first X-ray Pulsar-based Navigation-1 (XPNAV-1) satellite of China operates two X-ray instruments. The purpose of the XPNAV-1 mission is to detect the X-ray pulsars′ radiation photons and validate the pulsar navigation method. To acquire high precision pulse time of arrival (TOA) estimation, a novel method based on the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm was proposed, then numerical simulation was done for the novel method. The data from coordinate universaltime (UTC) 57727.0 MJD (modified Julian day) to UTC 57812.0 MJD of Crab pulsar observed by XPNAV-1 satellite was analyzed. Firstly, 121 pieces of the observations in the 0.5~10keV energy band were refined using epoch folding method. Secondly, the TOA of the epoch folding profiles was estimated by cross correlation method and MUSIC method. Finally, the estimations of the two methods were analyzed.
