Abstract

The invention is a method of estimating the time and frequency response of at least one desired signal received by at least one antenna, based on Gradient Optimization techniques. Through the use of gradient optimization techniques and efficient DFT processing, the invention provides frequency response estimates that require fewer computations than prior art decision-directed channel estimation devices.
