Real-time estimation of amplitude and group delay distortion in a PSK line-of-sight communications channel
Abstract
Linear transmission distortion is a malady which is common to communication transmission systems of all types. Compensating for--or equalizing--this form of distortion is essential in order to realize the maximum possible error-free transmission of information. An on-line technique for estimating linear transmission distortion parameters which are common to narrow band line-of-sight terrestrial microwave communication systems employing M-ary PSK modulation will be developed. The parameters of interest are represented as coefficients of a polynomial channel model in order to indicate the degree of amplitude and group delay distortion present in the channel.
