Abstract

Disclosed is an improved channel estimation by post-processing of the channel response that is generated by a Golay correlator The processing is done using time-domain operations such as gating and filtering. Gating is performed on the estimated channel response taps in order to reduce the noise level. Pre-filtering the channel response through a filter matched to the transmitted pulse-shape improves the probability of detecting the channel peaks. Post-filtering the processed channel impulse response to eliminate the high frequency effects that are added by the windowing and gating operations.
