  A fundamental task in wireless communication is channel estimation: Compute
the channel parameters a signal undergoes while traveling from a transmitter to
a receiver. In the case of delay-Doppler channel, i.e., a signal undergoes only
delay and Doppler shifts, a widely used method to compute delay-Doppler
parameters is the pseudo-random method. It uses a pseudo-random sequence of
length N; and, in case of non-trivial relative velocity between transmitter and
receiver, its computational complexity is O(N^2logN) arithmetic operations. In
[1] the flag method was introduced to provide a faster algorithm for
delay-Doppler channel estimation. It uses specially designed flag sequences and
its complexity is O(rNlogN) for channels of sparsity r. In these notes, we
introduce the incidence and cross methods for channel estimation. They use
triple-chirp and double-chirp sequences of length N, correspondingly. These
sequences are closely related to chirp sequences widely used in radar systems.
The arithmetic complexity of the incidence and cross methods is O(NlogN + r^3),
and O(NlogN + r^2), respectively.
