Channel estimation device, equalization device, and radio system

摘要

Provided are a channel estimation device and an equalization device capable of achieving high channel estimation accuracy with less amount of calculation processing. The equalization device includes: a channel estimation section including a ZF calculation/clipping processing section and correlation processing section; a weight calculation section; and an equalization filter. The ZF calculation/clipping processing section uses a signal obtained by converting a pilot code into a frequency domain to calculate a pilot reference signal according to a Zero Forcing (ZF) method and clips the gain of the calculated pilot reference signal to a predetermined value to generate a clipped pilot reference signal. The correlation processing section performs correlation between a pilot reception signal in the frequency domain and clipped pilot reference signal to estimate channel characteristics of the frequency domain. The weight calculation section calculates an equalization weight based on the channel characteristics of the frequency domain. The equalization filter performs equalization processing of a frequency domain reception signal using the equalization weight.
