Abstract

A method of pre-equalizing a data signal transmitted in frequency division duplex includes receiving via an originating reference antenna a first pilot sequence transmitted by a destination antenna through a first channel, and estimating a first impulse response of the first channel; receiving via a destination antenna a second pilot sequence transmitted by an originating antenna through a second channel, and estimating a second impulse response of the second channel; receiving, via the reference antenna, a third pilot sequence modulated by the second impulse response and transmitted by the destination antenna, and estimating a combined impulse response of the first and second channels in succession; time reversing the combined impulse response; combining the time-reversed combined impulse response and the first impulse response; re-iterating the steps for a portion of the destination and originating antennas; and determining pre-equalization coefficients for the data signal from a set of the impulse response combinations.
