The channel estimation technique is investigated in OFDM communication systems with multi-antenna Amplify-and-Forward(AF) relay.The Space-Time Block Code(STBC) is applied at the transmitter of the relay to obtain diversity gain.According to the transmission characteristics of OFDM symbols on multiple antennas,a pilot-aided Linear Minimum Mean-Square-Error(LMMSE) channel estimation algorithm with low complexity is designed.Simulation results show that,the proposed LMMSE estimator outperforms least-square estimator and approaches the optimal estimator without error in the performance of Symbol Error Ratio(SER) under several modulation modes,and has a good estimation effect in the realistic relay communication scenario.
