Summary :

As the channel frequency selectivity becomes severer, the bit error rate (BER) performance of direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) signal transmission with rake combining degrades due to an increasing inter-path interference (IPI). Frequency-domain equalization (FDE) can replace rake combining with much improved BER performance in a severe frequency-selective fading channel. For FDE, accurate estimation of the channel transfer function is required. In this paper, we propose an iterative channel estimation that uses pilot chips which are time-multiplexed within each chip block for fast Fourier transform (FFT). The pilot acts as a cyclic-prefix of FFT block as well. The achievable BER performance is evaluated by computer simulation. It is shown that the proposed channel estimation has a very good tracking ability against fast fading.
