Recovering a distance from ambiguous phase measurements observed at multiple signal frequencies involves the estimation of both integer and scalar quantities simultaneously. The problem is optimally addressed by existing methods only when the measurement noise is IID. A noise ‘whitening’ procedure is derived with a least‐square estimation structure inherent to the Lattice method proposed previously which thus extends this Lattice‐based algorithm to cope with coloured phase measurement noise in an optimal manner demonstrated via simulation.
