摘要

Multipath propagation fundamentally limits wireless positioning in dense urban environments, yet existing mitigation methods often rely on specialized hardware or poorly interpretable data-driven models. We propose a multi-frequency cross-product area (MF-CPA) framework for multipath detection using only standard early-prompt-late I/Q correlator outputs, requiring no receiver modification. By analyzing correlator sensitivity to relative delay, phase, Doppler, and attenuation, we show that the six-branch I/Q structure enables a physically interpretable detection metric. Multi-frequency fusion further mitigates frequency-dependent blind zones inherent to single-frequency methods. Hardware-in-the-loop simulations in a 3D urban canyon demonstrate detection rates of 50–80% at low false-discovery levels across GPS, BDS, and Galileo signals. Real-world experiments confirm consistent spatial detection patterns, though validation remains qualitative due to the lack of ground-truth channel-state labels. The proposed framework provides a scalable and interpretable solution for robust multipath monitoring in next-generation wireless navigation systems.
