Abstract

An unbiased, maximum-likelihood (ML), channel parameter-estimation algorithm for direct-sequence spread-spectrum systems with strong interference is discussed in this paper. The algorithm includes correcting terms to the extended Kalman filter (EKF) based on the gradient of the negative log-likelihood function of the output of a conventional matched filter. By an asymptotic analysis, the algorithm is shown to determine the actual parameters. A complete implementation of the algorithm is given, and its transient behavior is examined by computer simulations. Results show the ML algorithm, albeit optimal in the sense of unbiased parameter estimation, is less robust than the modified EKF described in the first reference.
