Holographic metasurface transceivers (HMT) is an emerging technology for enhancing the coverage and rate of wireless communication systems. However, acquiring accurate channel state information in HMT-assisted wireless communication systems is critical for achieving these goals. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for learning the optimal phase-shifts at a HMT for the far-field channel model. Our proposed algorithm exploits the structure of the channel gains in the far-field regions and learns the optimal phase-shifts in presence of noise in the received signals. We prove that the probability that the optimal phase-shifts estimated by our proposed algorithm deviate from the true values decays exponentially in the number of pilot signals. Extensive numerical simulations validate the theoretical guarantees and also demonstrate significant gains as compared to the state-of-the-art policies.
