Channel estimations of many OFDM systems are accomplished by using pilot signals. Two kinds of pilots, frequency-domain pilots and time-domain pilots, are investigated. The performance of these methods in Rayleigh frequency selective channel is simulated. The effects of varying channels on these methods, especially on the time-domain pilot channel estimation technique, are examined. From the results, it can be concluded that when the channel is a slow fading channel time-domain method performs much better than frequency-domain method, but when the channel is a fast fading channel, the performance of time-domain technique is impacted more severely, and is no better than that of frequency-domain technique.
