Abstract :
A unified discrete channel model from the information source up to the sampler was developed for fading multipath channels. Different methods for adaptive channel measurement was studied. The performance of a discrete matched filter using different adaptation techniques and working over a troposcatter channel is predicted. It is shown that the effects of channel measurement noise are less damaging for the decision-directed adaptation technique as compared to any kind of reference-directed adaptation
