Abstract

Holographic MIMO (hMIMO) systems with a massive number N of individually controlled antennas make minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimation particularly challenging, due to its computational complexity that scales as N 3 . This paper investigates uniform linear arrays and proposes a low-complexity method based on the discrete Fourier transform approximation, which follows from replacing the covariance matrix by a suitable circulant matrix. Numerical results show that, already for arrays with moderate size (in the order of tens of wavelengths), it achieves the same performance of the optimal MMSE, but with a significant lower computational load that scales as N log N. Interestingly, the proposed method provides also increased robustness in case of imperfect knowledge of the covariance matrix.
