The European Galileo Plan will include the Search and Rescue (SAR) transponder which will become part of the future
MEOSAR (Medium earth orbit Search and Rescue) system, the new SAR system can improve localization accuracy through measuring the frequency of arrival (FOA) and time of arrival (TOA) of beacons, the FOA estimation is one of the most important part. In this paper, we aim to find a good FOA algorithm with minimal estimation error, which must be less than 0.1Hz. We propose a new method called Kay algorithm for the SAR/GALILEO system by comparing some frequency estimation methods and current methods using in the COAPAS-SARSAT system and analyzing distress beacon in terms of signal structure, spectrum characteristic. The simulation proves that the Kay method for FOA
estimation is better.
