ABSTRACT:
A system estimates noise power in a scalar, multi-signal communications channel. A data sampler collects N data samples from communications signals received from the communications channel. A module forms a covariance matrix of the N data samples based on a model order estimate. A module also computes the eigenvalue decomposition of the covariance matrix and ranks resultant eigenvalues from the minimum to the maximum for determining the noise power.
