Abstract
A new Ricean parameter estimator is considered in the context of wireless communications. In comparison to existing methods, the proposed estimator is especially useful in low signal-to-noise environments. It is less reliant on knowledge of the transmitted signal frequency than existing methods, and it performs well in communications environments where the frequency is varying in time.
