Abstract
A transmitted and known signal is observed at the receiver through more than one path in additive noise. The problem is to estimate the number of paths and for each of them the associated attenuation and delay. It is a frequent problem in sonar, radar and geophysics. We propose an algorithm that is easy to implement, that has a reasonable computational load and seems to be able to solve the problem under more severe conditions (lower SNR) than previous methods
