BLIND MULTIPATH CHANNEL IDENTIFICATION FOR WIDE-BAND COMMUNICATIONS-SYSTEMS BASED ON CYCLOSTATIONARY STATISTICS

In this letter a blind channel identification algorithm for broadband signals is proposed. Although we take CDM signals into consideration f or simplicity, the algorithm can be easily extended to any other wideb and communication system. The algorithm is based on cyclostationary pr operties of the CDM signal. Moreover a brief discussion on the identif iability of a generic channel transfer function from the measured cycl ic and conjugate cyclic spectra of the received signal is also present ed.
