Channel Estimation for SC-FDE Systems Using Frequency Domain Multiplexed Pilots
Abstract— We investigate channel estimation for single-carrierfrequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) system using the techniques typically used for an orthogonal frequency domain multiplexing (OFDM) system. Two techniques of frequency domain multiplexed (FDM) pilot insertion using interleaved frequency domain multiple access (IFDMA) signal with a Chu sequence are considered. One called frequency domain superimposed pilot technique (FDSPT) scales data-carrying tones and then superimposes them with pilot tones. This technique preserves spectral efficiency at the expense of performance loss. The other, called frequency expanding technique (FET), shifts groups of data frequencies for multiplexing of pilot tones at the expense of spectral efficiency. Our results show that both techniques increase peak to average power ratio (PAPR) although it is still lower than that of an OFDM system. The application of FDSPT is limited by the pilot overhead ratio, resulting from the removal of data fr...
