A High-Resolution Multipath Delay Measurement Method Using KFSC-WRELAX Algorithm.

Given the challenges associated with the low accuracy, complexity of the equipment, and poor interference resistance observed in current wireless multipath channel measurements, this study introduces a novel algorithm called KFSC-WRELAX. This algorithm integrates techniques involving pseudorandom noise (PN) sequences, Kalman filtering (KF), sliding correlation, and weighted Fourier transform combined with the RELAXation (WRELAX) algorithm. An m-sequence is employed as the probing sequence for channel detection. The effectiveness of the KFSC-WRELAX algorithm is demonstrated through both simulation experiments and corridor testing, showing that it can accurately determine the delays in various paths with robust performance at a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of −5 dB or higher.
