In this paper we investigate a blind channel estimation method for multicarrier CDMA systems that uses a subspace decomposition technique. This technique exploits the orthogonality property between the noise subspace and the received user codes to obtain a channel identification algorithm. In order to analyze the performance of this algorithm, we derived a theoretical expression of the estimation MSE using a perturbation approach. This expression is compared with the numerical results of some computer simulations to illustrate the validity of the analysis.
