The present invention provides a
millimeter wave
system fast channel
estimation method, belonging to the technical field of
wireless communication systems. The method comprises a step of carrying out interval division on the space range covered by communication beams according to a communication beam number Q, and using a binary
system to express an interval code, a step of designing a training beam such that the
main lobe of the training beam is only at the kth area with 1 bit of the interval code, a step of using the training beam to emit a
signal by a
transmitter, recording the
signal intensity of each training beam by a
receiver, judging whether the beam is in the
main lobe of the training beam, and obtaining an optimal communication beam. According to the method, a stepping search mode is adopted when Q is larger than 16, the searching range is subjected to interval division in each period, and the optimal interval is searched. According to the method, a beam with the
superimposition of multiple main lobes are utilized to carry out beam searching, the searching efficiency is high, the search complexity is low, and the method is suitable for the
beamforming of 2D and 3D and has an obvious
advantage in the multi-user simultaneous searching of a star topology structure.
