Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach for characterizing wideband (CDMA) multiple dimensional channels for the wireless environment in arbitrarily coloured additive Gaussian noise. This characterization is sufficient for the specification of optimal multichannel space-time receivers. The proposed solution is defined in the Bayesian framework and uses the reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method to obtain estimates of the number of scatterers, their directions of arrival and their times of arrival. The developed method is applied to simulated and real measured data to verify the performance of the approach
