Abstract :
In this paper, we present a new robust, fast, and accurate deconvolution algorithm for correcting noise disturbed measurements and eliminating the influence of the resolution filter of a spectrum analyzer used for EM-field measurements around a GSM and UMTS base station. Our purpose is to be able to determine immediately the field values at a measurement site. Therefore the algorithm has to be fast and accurate. Furthermore, because of the presence of noise, our algorithm has to be robust. Our algorithm that uses windowing and filtering meets those demands and reduces the present noise by an additional convolution with a square wave function.
