A multipath error cancellation method based on antenna jitter by Jiyang Liu, Feixue Wang, Xiaomei Tang, Sixin Wang, Muzi Yuan

“…Here, we propose a multipath error cancellation method that utilizes antenna jitter, which mitigates multipath errors by rapidly changing the relative phases of direct and multipath signals without requiring changes to the receiver structure. The model that combines theoretical analysis with experimental verification is conducted to identify the minimum jitter amplitude required for effective error reduction in straight-line jitter scenarios. …”
