Abstract :
An improved Prony algorithm, code-named SVDP (singular value decomposition Prony), is proposed for identifying discrete multipath components. The new technique has been applied to data obtained from both laboratory and field experiments. The superiority of the algorithm in determining the number of rays present, and also in resolving close rays, is demonstrated.
