Deconvolution techniques for characterizing indoor UWB wireless channel

A deconvolution algorithm is proposed to account for the distortions of impulse shape introduced by propagation process. By finding the best correlation of the received waveform with the multiple templates, the number of multipath components is reduced as the result of eliminating the “phantom paths”, and the captured energy increases. Moreover, it needs only a single reference measurement in real measurement environment (do not need the anechoic chamber), which by far simplifies the templates acquiring procedure.
