Abstract

We propose a robust blind equalization algorithm based on quadrant-partitioned constellations for QAM demodulation. The algorithm divides the received M-QAM constellations into simple four quadrant. The channel equalization for symbols in each quadrant can be accomplished fast and reliably using the Constant Modulus Algorithm(CMA) and the Stop-and-Go Algorithm(SGA). Test results confirm that the proposed algorithm with lower complexity outperforms both the CMA and the SGA in reducing the SER as well as the MSE at the equalizer output.
