Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid sparse channel estimation based on Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) for orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) scenario to exploit channel sparsity of underwater acoustic (UWA) channel. A novel channel dictionary matrix based on chirp signals is constructed and mutual coherence is adopted to evaluate its preservation of sparse information. In addition, Compressive Sampling Matching Pursuit (CoSaMP) is implemented to estimate the sparse channel coefficients. Simulation results demonstrate a significant Normalized Mean Square Error (NMSE) improvement of 10dB over Basis Expansion Model (BEM) with less complexity.
