Deconvolution techniques for characterizing indoor UWB wireless channel*

A deconvolution algorithm is proposed to account for the distortions of impulse shape introduced bypropagation process. By finding the best correlation of the received waveform with the multiple templates, thenumber of multipath components is reduced as the result of eliminating the “phantom paths”, and the capturedenergy increases. Moreover, it needs only a single reference measurement in real measurement environment (do notneed the anechoic chamber), which by far simplifies the templates acquiring procedure.
