Some years ago a novel filter bank modulation technique was conceived: Cyclic Filter Bank Modulation (CB-FMT) [1]-[2]. The main principles, efficient realization and equalization in double selective channels were studied. More recently, thanks to the cooperation with colleagues at UC3M, the channel estimation problem was addressed and new results have been obtained. Given the spectral characteristics of CB-FMT, the idea of superimposed pilot pouring was conceived. Results can be seen in papers [3] and [4].
