Patent 7327810 was granted and assigned to Zenith Electronics on February, 2008 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
In forming a channel estimate, a received signal y is decoded to form data s, a convolution matrix Ŝ is formed from the data s, a matrix F is formed from the data s such that the matrix F results from the forming of the matrix Ŝ as a convolution matrix, and a conjugate gradient algorithm is performed to determine the channel estimate. The conjugate gradient algorithm is based on the received signal y, the matrix Ŝ, and the matrix F.
