Abstract

In this contribution, we investigate the applicability of using multiple propagation paths to estimate the temporal auto-correlation function and the coherence time of wireless propagation channels. The Space-Alternating Generalized Expectation-maximization (SAGE) algorithm is applied for extracting the paths from measurement data. It is found that the channel auto-correlation function and coherence time computed based on the path parameters are biased. A simple method is proposed for correction of the biases. Experimental investigations are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the method.
