Blind channel estimation for STBC using higher order statistics

This file implements an algorithm for blind channel estimation

Description

This algorithms implements a blind channel estimation algorithm for Space-Time Block Coded communications. The algorithm exploits the statistical independence of sources before space-time encoding. The channel matrix is estimated by minimizing a kurtosis-based cost function after space time equalization. The proposed
can be employed for the general class of linear STBCs including Spatial Multiplexing, Orthogonal, quasi Orthogonal and Non- Orthogonal STBCs.

To see an example, just run the following command:

one_shot(512,'Alamouti','1',1,5,'PSK',4,50)

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.3 (R2006b)
