Abstract
A method for blindly determining a channel impulse response (CIR) for a channel in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communications system includes constructing a matrix from two received signals. A singular value decomposition is performed on the matrix, which produces left and right singular matrixes. The right singular vector corresponding to the smallest singular value of the matrix is found, which yields the channel impulse response multiplied by an unknown scalar constant. The unknown scalar constant is then removed used known techniques. The method is data efficient, independent of the input symbol constellation, computationally efficient, and superior in performance compared with prior art blind algorithms.
