Abstract

This paper presents an innovative technique that identifies the most significant paths of the multipath channels based on the Last Mean Square (LMS) and Normalized Least Mean Squares (NLMS) algorithms applied to RAKE receiver. Simulations have been carried out for a DS-CDMA signal with QPSK modulation, and the performances have been evaluated in terms of the number of taps detected as a function of number of samples processed for different values of the noise variance and different threshold values.
