Abstract: An integration of Spatial Modulation with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (SM OFDM) is a recently evolved transmission technique. In practical scenarios, channel estimation is significant for detecting transmitted data coherently. Impulse response based interpolation technique that provides channel frequency response estimate with reduction in noise error is proposed for comb type pilot based channel estimation of SM OFDM system along with 1D interpolation techniques under frequency selective channel. This scheme focus on carrying out smoothing and estimation in time domain and transforming output back to the frequency domain. BER performance is investigated for Rayleigh channel employing COST 207 project model on two test urban environments (Typical and Bad) for 4 and 16 QAM SM OFDM systems. Results show that the Least Square estimator with DFT interpolation performs finer compared to all one dimensional interpolation methods with less computational complexity by employing FFT algorithms.
