    Artificial Neural Network Based Sparse Channel Estimation for Ofdm Systems
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2017) Tahir, Abdur Rehman Bin; Şenol, Habib; Özmen, Atilla
    In order to increase the communication quality in frequency selective fading channel environment, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems are used to combat inter-symbol-interference (ISI). In this thesis, a channel estimation scheme for the OFDM system in the presence of sparse multipath channel is studied. The channel estimation is done by using the artificial neural networks (ANNs) with Resilient Backpropagation training algorithm. This technique uses the learning capability of artificial neural networks. By means of this feature we show how to obtain a channel estimate and how it allows the proposed technique to be less computationally complex; as there is no need for any matrix inversions. This proposed method is compared with the Matching Pursuit (MP) algorithm that is well known estimation technique for sparse channels. The results show that the ANN based channel estimate is computationally simpler and a small number of pilots are required to get a better estimate of the channel especially in low SNR levels. With this setting, the proposed algorithm leads to a better system throughput.
