The present invention discloses a channel
estimation method based on comb-type
pilot frequency for a DDO-OFDM
system. The method comprises the steps of (1) obtaining a
pilot frequency position, (2) inserting a
pilot frequency
subcarrier at the frequency pilot position in the sending
signal of an emitting end, (3) extracting the pilot frequency
subcarrier for a receiving
signal at a same pilot frequency position at a receiving end, (4) using LS
estimation average method to estimate the average
frequency response of the pilot frequency
subcarrier, and (5) using a linear interpolation method to estimate the
frequency response of the data subcarrier in a channel. In the same pilot frequency expenditure, the error rate is reduced by the
algorithm of the present invention, the
estimation accuracy is raised, and the SNR
gain is raised. The pilot frequency expenditure influence on the
algorithm error rate is small, the low error rate can be ensured even in small pilot frequency expenditure, the
frequency band utilization rate is raised, the complexity of the
algorithm is low, and the practicability is high.
