CHANNEL ESTIMATING APPARATUS, AND CDMA RECEIVER AND CDMA TRANSCEIVER EACH HAVING THE APPARATUS

摘要

A channel estimating apparatus for performing channel estimation with high precision, and a CDMA receiver and a CDMA transceiver each having the apparatus. A channel estimation value of a data symbol is acquired from a series of pilot symbols which are in parallel with a series of data symbols. First, a plurality of pilot blocks are generated from the pilot symbol series. By properly summing weighted average values of the pilot symbols included in the pilot blocks, the channel estimation value of the data symbol is determined. In such a manner, channel estimation can be performed with high precision. By performing the data symbol channel estimation by using not only the pilot symbols of a slot including the data symbol but also pilot symbols of other slots, the channel estimation can be carried out with higher precision.
