Abstract: In training-sequence-based OFDM systems, a training sequence is inserted in the specific location of each slot in order to estimate the channel impulse response in the time-domain and carry out equalization in the frequency-domain. In this paper, we propose two training-sequence-based channel estimation approaches for OFDM systems with transmitter diversity by tracking the delay-subspace and the amplitudes of the CIR or its DFT. Combined with Wiener interpolation filtering technique simulations of an OFDM system with two-transmit-antennas-and-one-receive-antenna space-time block coding show the advantages of the approaches.
