Abstract :
Most of the wireless communication systems require knowledge of the channel signal-to-Noise ratio. Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh fading severely degrade the performance of the wireless communication systems. In this paper we proposed a scalar Kalman filter based approach for improved signal to noise ratio estimation in the presence of AWGN and fading environment. The mean square error (MSE) and bias are used as performance measures. Simulation result shows the promising results.
