mmWave/THz Channel Estimation Using Frequency-Selective Atomic Norm Minimization
We propose a MIMO channel estimation method for millimeter-wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) systems based on frequency-selective atomic norm minimization (FS-ANM). For the strong line-of-sight property of the channel in such high-frequency bands, prior knowledge on the ranges of angles of departure/arrival (AoD/AoA) can be obtained as the prior knowledge, which can be exploited by the proposed channel estimator to improve the estimation accuracy. Simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve considerable performance gain when compared with the existing approaches without incorporating the the strong line-of-sight property.
