Abstract:
An OFDM receiver generates an initial channel impulse response in response to a received OFDM signal. The receiver determines the time span within the initial channel impulse response in which significant paths are present. An intermediate channel impulse response estimator identifies paths within the initial channel impulse response and generates an improved intermediate channel impulse response. A channel impulse response estimator performs a second non-linear process to generate a channel impulse response. An equalizer responds to the channel impulse response and the OFDM symbol to equalize the OFDM symbol. Metrics are generated that can be used for effectively stopping the second iterative non-linear process.
