Abstract

We propose a channel estimation technique for OFDM based systems, such as HIPERLAN/2 and IEEE 802.11a, with transmitter diversity. The proposed technique estimates all channel frequency responses, corresponding to each transmitter and receiver antenna pair, required for space-time processing in this OFDM based system. This technique is able to extract the channel state information for two transmitter antennas using the same preamble as defined in the standard of HIPERLAN/2. The feasibility of this channel estimation method is made possible by exploiting the structure of the OFDM modulation scheme. The results showed that the accuracy provided by this proposed method is comparable to that obtained when a single transmitter antenna is used
