초록

이 논문에서는 계산 복잡성이 단순화된 비선형 추정기를 소개하고, 이를 적용한 Bussgang 블라인드 등화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 베이즈 추정기가 눈 모형이 닫힌 등화 초기에는 시그모이드 추정기로 잘 근사화되며, 눈 모형이 열린 조건에서는 임계 추정기에 근사화되는 사실을 이용하였다. 제안 방법에서는 매 갱신 마다 채널 왜곡의 정도에 따라 시그모이드 추정기와 임계 추정기를 선택적으로 적용하고, 특히 시그모이드 추정기에 축소 신호점을 도입함으로써 고차 QAM 신호의 블라인드 등화에 적용 시 계산 복잡성을 극히 단순화하는 동시에 블라인드 수렴 특성과 정상상태 성능을 개선할 수 있음을 보인다.

This paper introduces nonlinear estimators with reduced complexity, and proposes the Bussgang blind equalization algorithm employing the nonlinear estimators. The proposed algorithm utilized the facts that the Bayesian estimator is well approximated to the sigmoid estimator in initial stage of equalization with closed eye and is well approximated to the threshold estimator under open eye condition. The proposed method adopts selectively one of the two nonlinear estimators, i.e., the sigmoid estimator and the threshold estimator, according to channel distortion level at each iteration. As a result, by using the sigmoid estimator with reduced constellation, the proposed scheme, as it is applied to blind equalization of high-order QAM signals, simplifies the computational complexity extremely, and enhances the blind convergence capability and steady-state performance.
