Abstract
A new signal processing algorithm proposed here is aimed at estimating five-dimensional (5-D) polarization-space-time (polarization, angle, delay) channel parameters for a tri-polarized system that works in a multipath environment. Unlike most channel estimation algorithms, where spatially spread antenna arrays are deployed, our algorithm is designed for a spatial col-located tripole antenna. A third-order tensor model is firstly established for the multipath polarization-space-time channel. This tensor is subsequently solved by exploiting low-rank decomposition techniques. After that, a closed-form solution of 2-D angles, 2-D polarizations, and multipath delay estimates for each multipath ray are derived. The proposed algorithm requires no computation for iterative searching and parameter pairing, thus offering an advantage in time-sensitive applications. In addition, it is applicable to either narrowband or wideband systems of arbitrary bandwidth and center-frequency.
