We consider channel estimation for an uplink massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system where the base station (BS) uses an array with low-resolution (1-2 bit) analog-to-digital converters and a spatial Sigma-Delta ($\Sigma\Delta$) architecture to shape the quantization noise away from users in some angular sector.
