Diffusion model-based channel estimators have shown impressive performance but suffer from high computational complexity because they rely on iterative reverse sampling. This paper proposes a sampling-free diffusion transformer (DiT) for low-complexity MIMO channel estimation, termed SF-DiT-CE. Exploiting angular-domain sparsity of MIMO channels, we train a lightweight DiT to directly predict the clean channels from their perturbed observations and noise levels. At inference, the least square (LS) estimate and estimation noise condition the DiT to recover the channel in a single forward pass, eliminating iterative sampling. Numerical results demonstrate that our method achieves superior estimation accuracy and robustness with significantly lower complexity than state-of-the-art baselines.
