Abstract

In this paper,attempts are made to profile the radio propagation path linking an intercepted transmitter site to the signal collection facility. The main objective is to extract fingerprinting clues to identify the transmitter locality. Different methods of power spectrum estimation techniques are applied and compared w.r.t. their usefulness in identifying the multipath channel. A novel system is proposed to act as a transmitter locality identifier. The system is based on adaptive modeling of the faded channel. The system configuration is presented.,the control software is developed and sample run-outs of the developed programs are presented and commented.
