Abstract: Based on the analysis of the FX correlation in interferometry technology such as VLBI,a novel FX correlation scheme was proposed.The new scheme reduced the timedelay between different station signals to less than one bit by compensating the integer bit timedelay twice,which avoided phase wrapping and omitted fraction compensation.Then,analysis on the new scheme was made,including correlation length and computational complexity.In addition,an outlier delete algorithm was mended,which made the delete procedure unaffected by the trend phase change according to the frequency.Monte Caro simulation and CE-2 satellite measured data processing results prove the validity and effectiveness of the improvements.
