Abstract
A method of estimating a spatial filter matrix is provided. A conjugate of a received first signal defines a conjugate first signal. A Kronecker product of the defined first signal and a received second signal define a differential measurement signal. The computations are repeated for a plurality of first and second signals sufficient to compute an estimate of a channel matrix from the differential measurement signals. A spatial filter matrix is computed from the computed estimate of the channel matrix. The computed spatial filter matrix is used in a data communication phase between the first plurality of antennas and the second plurality of antennas.
