Abstract

We propose the use of time-varying signals and time-frequency techniques to estimate fast fading channels with unknown state information. Specifically, we apply the reassigned spectrogram to estimate multiple sinusoids resulting from transmitting and processing two linear frequency-modulated (FM) chirp pilots. The estimation procedure is complicated by the need to pair sinusoids resulting from the same multipath. This problem is overcome using a single nonlinear FM chirp pilot with power characteristics. The channel estimation simplifies to estimating linear FM chirps which we perform using the modified matching pursuit decomposition algorithm. Simulations demonstrate the increased estimation performance when pilot signals with nonlinear structures are used instead of linear structured ones.
