In this paper, we tackle channel estimation in millimeter-wave hybrid multiple-input multiple-output systems by considering off-grid effects. In particular, we assume that spatial parameters can take any value in the angular domain, and need not fall on predefined discretized angles. Instead of increasing the number of discretized points to combat off-grid effects, we use implicit Dirichlet kernel structure in the Fourier domain, which conventional compressed sensing methods do not use. We propose greedy low-complexity algorithms based on orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP); our core idea is to traverse the Dirichlet kernel peak using estimates of the discrete Fourier transform. We demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed algorithms compared to standard OMP reconstruction. Numerical results show that our proposed algorithms obtain smaller reconstruction errors when off-grid effects are accounted for.
The virtual channel model describes the channel with respect to (w.r.t.) fixed basis functions corresponding to spatial angles within a finite discrete dictionary. In other words, the continuous parameter space of spatial angular features is discretized into a finite set of pre-defined spatial angles, which emphasizes the sparse representation of the MIMO channels. The estimation accuracy of CS methods based on this discretization is limited by the number of points in the dictionary. Although this discretization procedure yields state-of-art performance, it has several intrinsic disadvantages @cite_11 , including the .

This paper investigates the problem of estimating the frequency components of a mixture of s complex sinusoids from a random subset of n regularly spaced samples. Unlike previous work in compressed sensing, the frequencies are not assumed to lie on a grid, but can assume any values in the normalized frequency domain [0, 1]. An atomic norm minimization approach is proposed to exactly recover the unobserved samples and identify the unknown frequencies, which is then reformulated as an exact semidefinite program. Even with this continuous dictionary, it is shown that O(slog s log n) random samples are sufficient to guarantee exact frequency localization with high probability, provided the frequencies are well separated. Extensive numerical experiments are performed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
