Abstract

A comparison of two variants of CLEAN, a time-domain serial subtractive deconvolution algorithm, is presented. Appropriate statistical metrics for assessing the relative merit of the deconvolution technique are identified in the context of intra vehicle ultra wide band transmission, and the better variant was selected based on its performance over a standard IEEE channel simulation testbed. The chosen method is then applied to extract important channel characteristics for a real-world channel sounding experiment performed inside a passenger car.
