Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program is described comprising: combining first features extracted from an echo signal using a convolutional encoder of a convolutional encoder-decoder having first weights, wherein the echo signal is obtained in response to a transmission over a channel or a simulation thereof; and using a convolutional decoder of the convolutional encoder-decoder to generate an estimate of a frequency response of the channel based on the echo signal, wherein the convolutional decoder has second weights.
