BLIND CHANNEL ESTIMATION WITH DATA FROM THE INTIMATE '96 SEA TRIAL

Blind multipath channel estimation is studied by time-frequency (TF) analysis. For a linear frequency modulated source, the technique is based on its instantaneous frequency estimation, followed by an approximate formulation of matchedltering. Tests concern at-sea recorded data during the INTIMATE ’96 experiment.
