Method and apparatus for estimating channel response and receiver apparatus using the estimated channel response for OFDM radio communication systems

摘要

An estimation apparatus for estimating a channel response of a radio propagation path using a received signal including a first known signal, comprises a generator which generates a reference signal matrix, a calculator which calculates a generalized inverse matrix of the reference signal matrix including singular values which exceed a preset threshold value, an estimation unit configured to estimate an impulse response of the radio channel modeled using a transversal filter based on the first known signal and the generalized inverse matrix, and a converter which converts the estimated impulse response into a frequency-domain signal to acquire a frequency transfer function of the channel.
