Abstract

This paper describes the application of the singular value decomposition Prony (SVDP) algorithm to the analysis of the time-variant structure of a microwave line-of-sight multipath channel. The algorithm deduces the multipath ray delays and associated amplitudes from measurements made in the frequency domain. The capability of this algorithm to resolve closely spaced rays is well demonstrated by analyzing both computer simulated data and field measurements. This paper presents experimental results of the time-variant structure of the transmittance H(jω, t) and includes the evolution in time of the amplitude, group delay, and the constituting rays thus giving a direct insight into the underlying multipath mechanism of line-of-sight microwave links.
