Abstract :
Channel estimation is a key step in the initial synchronisation of a RAKE receiver. In this paper we present an algorithm for multipath channel estimation based on an elegant new technique for resolving the multipath components. The performance of the algorithm is assessed through simulation in a full UTRA-FDD compliant uplink scenario. Test results are presented and compared with those of other channel estimation techniques.
