This chapter analyzes the problem of blind channel estimation under Space-Time Block Coded transmissions. In particular, a new blind channel estimation technique for a general class of space-time block codes is proposed. The method is solely based on the second-order statistics of the observations, and its computational complexity reduces to the extraction of the main eigenvector of a generalized eigenvalue problem. Additionally, the identifiability conditions associated to the blind channel estimation problem are analyzed, which is exploited to propose a new transmission technique based on the idea of code diversity or combination of different codes. This technique resolves the ambiguities in most of the practical cases, and it can be reduced to a non-redundant precoding consisting in a single set of rotations or permutations of the transmit antennas. Finally, the performance of the proposed techniques is illustrated by means of several simulation examples.
