14、 to Channel Estimation Errors:1.The RX extracts the samples and interpolates them to construct an estimate of the channel for every data symbol transmitted.2.With 2(M)TX and 1 RX antennas,however,the estimates of the 2(M)channels must be derived from a single received signal.=2(M)times as many pilot
