Abstract

A channel estimating method and device are provided. The method includes: performing multi-path searching on a pilot channel, and performing interpolation on a channel estimation value at a radial position of the multi-path searching ( 101 ); performing raised cosine de-convolution on the channel estimation value that undergoes the interpolation ( 102 ); acquiring the channel estimation value at each radial position in the pilot channel according to the channel estimation value that undergoes the raised cosine de-convolution and a sample deviation acquired by performing the multi-path searching ( 103 ). The channel estimating method and device eliminate the sample deviation of the channel estimation value, improve the demodulation performance, and evidently reduce the operation workload.
