Abstract

See full text

A channel estimator for determining channel weighting coefficients for a finger of the RAKE receiver. The channel estimator comprises: 1) a first correlator for receiving a first pilot channel signal and correlating the first pilot channel signal with a first pilot channel chip pattern associated with the first pilot channel signal to produce an output comprising a first pilot channel symbol sequence; and 2) a first channel estimation filter capable of receiving the first pilot channel symbol sequence and generating first channel weighting coefficients. The first channel estimation filter minimizes the mean squared error of the channel estimate in the first channel weighting coefficients caused by additive noise and Doppler effects, wherein the mean squared error is minimized across a range of Doppler frequencies from 0 Hz up to a predetermined maximum Doppler frequency.
