Multiple delays using cross correlation

I want to find multiple delays between two signals using xcorr in matlab. I'm getting the single delay when i use the following code [x,lag]=xcorr(r1,r2); [m,i]=max(abs(x)); delay=lag(i); But the problem is i'm not getting correct output, when there are multiple delays. Can anyone help me to find multiple delays between two signals

You are using max() so you are getting a single value. When you say multiple delays, are you trying to account for echoes?
Can you say something more specific about your signals.
hi wayne, i'm generating the multiple delayed signal by summing signals that are delayed by different delays and now i need to find all those delays

Once you get the result of xcorr, you can use findpeaks to locate multiple peaks.
[x,lag] = xcorr(r1,r2);
[pks, locs] = findpeaks(x);
delay = lag(locs);
For options in findpeaks, see the doc
