In wireless communication systems, identifying the number of channel taps offers an enhanced estimation of the channel impulse response (CIR). In this work, efficient identification of the number of wireless channel taps has been achieved via deep neural networks (DNNs), where we modified an existing DNN and analyzed its convergence performance using only the transmitted and received signals of a wireless system. The displayed results demonstrate that the adopted DNN accomplishes superior performance in identifying the number of channel taps, as compared to an existing algorithm called Spectrum Weighted Identification of Signal Sources (SWISS).
