Millimeter-wave (mmWave) channels, which occupy frequency ranges much higher than those being used in previous wireless communications systems, are utilized to meet the increased throughput requirements that come with 5G communications. The high levels of attenuation experienced by electromagnetic waves in these frequencies causes MIMO channels to have high spatial correlation. To attain desirable error performances, systems require knowledge about the channel correlations. In this thesis, a deep neural network aided method is proposed for the parametric estimation of the channel covariance matrix (CCM), which contains information regarding the channel correlations. When compared to some methods found in the literature, the proposed method yields satisfactory peformance in terms of both computational complexity and channel estimation errors.

This paper proposes a deep learning-based channel estimation method for multi-cell interference-limited massive MIMO systems, in which base stations equipped with a large number of antennas serve multiple single-antenna users. The proposed estimator employs a specially designed deep neural network (DNN) based on the deep image prior (DIP) network to first denoise the received signal, followed by conventional least-squares (LS) estimation. We analytically prove that our LS-type deep channel estimator can app...
Wideband Channel Estimation With a Generative Adversarial Network
Balevi, Eren; Andrews, Jeffrey G. (2021-05-01)
Communication at high carrier frequencies such as millimeter wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) requires channel estimation for very large bandwidths at low SNR. Hence, allocating an orthogonal pilot tone for each coherence bandwidth leads to excessive number of pilots. We leverage generative adversarial networks (GANs) to accurately estimate frequency selective channels with few pilots at low SNR. The proposed estimator first learns to produce channel samples from the true but unknown channel distribution v...
Optimal Array size for Multiuser MIMO
Hameed, Khalid W.; Noras, James M.; Radwan, Ayman; Al-Turjman, Fadi; Rodriguez, Jonathan; Abd-Alhameed, Raed A. (2018-06-29)
This paper investigates the optimal number of antennas at a base station, in contrast to what has been accepted in the past: that increasing the number of antennas at base station always enhances performance. In this study, we show that increasing the number of antennas does not always improve the desired performance. Additionally, such increase in antennas consumes more power in transmission and adds to the computation complexity, which in turn needs more time and is more difficult to implement. The optimu...

Gül , Yunus Emre; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-5-11)
The forward model analysis in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system requires the computation of the signals received by receiver antennas when various targets are illuminated by a transmitter antenna. The full wave analysis of such systems provides accurate results with high computational cost. Fast analysis of the system can be achieved by simple models based on several approximations which limits the accuracy. In this thesis, a modeling technique that provides better accuracy compared to simple m...

Radar imaging using multiple input multiple output systems are becoming popular recently. These applications typically contain a sparse scene and the imaging system is challenged by the requirement of high quality real-time image reconstruction from under-sampled measurements via compressive sensing. In this paper, we deal with obtaining sparse solution to near- field radar imaging problems by developing efficient sparse reconstruction, which avoid storing and using large-scale sensing matrices. We demonstr...
