Gridless Variational Bayesian Channel Estimation for Antenna Array Systems with Low Resolution ADCs
arXiv:1906.00576
Abstract
Employing low-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) coupled with large antenna arrays at the receivers has drawn considerable interests in the millimeter wave (mm-wave) system. Since mm-wave channels are sparse in angular dimensions, exploiting the structure could reduce the number of measurements while achieve acceptable performance at the same time. Motivated by the variational Bayesian line spectral estimation (VALSE) algorithm which treats the angles as random parameters, in contrast with previous works which confine the estimate to the set of grid angle points and induce grid mismatch, this paper proposes the grid-less quantized variational Bayesian channel estimation (GL-QVBCE) algorithm for antenna array systems with low resolution ADCs. Compared to the traditional least squares (LS) approach, numerical results show that GL-QVBCE performs significantly better and asymptotically approaches the Cramèr Rao bound (CRB).
