Abstract

In this paper, a new blind multiuser detection algorithm is presented. It can both cancel multiuser interference and estimate the multipath channel response in a blind way. The method has been specially conceived for low coherence bandwidth channels such as the ionospheric channel and exhibits very low computational requirements. Real-time measurements from a fully digital HF radio-link are presented that confirm the reliability of the method for the ionospheric channel.
