Popis: As the eLoran signal propagates, its strength gradually diminishes with increasing distance, making subsequent signal capture and terminal development challenging. To address this phenomenon, this paper proposes an improved method based on wavelet hard thresholding. This method applies hierarchical processing to the coefficients obtained after wavelet decomposition, based on the signal’s center frequency. It effectively addresses issues like the disappearance of trailing edges and the presence of the noise with large coefficients. Simulation results show that the improved method has the largest output signal-to-noise ratio and effectively improves the problem of tailing vanishing and eliminates the noise with large coefficients. In analog source signal testing, the results show that the method can extract signals of 30 dBμv/m and above well. In actual signal testing, the improved method can extract eLoran signals transmitted over a distance of approximately 1000 km. Based on the results, it can be deduced that the input signal-to-noise ratio is −28.8 dB. Therefore, this method is a suitable and effective solution for extracting weak eLoran signals, providing strong support for signal monitoring in areas at the coverage boundaries of eLoran signals.
