Abstract
The present invention provides a channel estimation method for a MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) antenna system comprising two transmit antennas and two receive antennas. The method performs a preliminary estimation on a channel, and then calculates to obtain a calculated value for the transmitted signal by using the estimated channel value. The calculated value for the transmitted signal is reconstructed, the reconstructed calculated value is used as the transmitted signal, and the channel value is estimated for a second time. The iteration is performed in this manner for n times, leading to a more accurate channel value. The method of the invention has a high efficiency, and the channel value is accurately estimated.
