Abstract

This paper presents an algorithm for multipath channel parameter estimation by an improved Prony method. This algorithm applies a modified regularized spectral estimation to the conventional SVD Prony method. This method requires no a priori information on the number of multipath. The performance of the proposed algorithm is almost the same as that of the SVD based multipath channel parameter estimation algorithm.
