Abstract

In this paper, we propose blind adaptation strategies for decision feedback equalizer (DFE) optimizing the operation mode between acquisitionand tracking modes based on adjustable soft decision devices. The proposed schemes select an optimal soft decision device to generate feedback samples for the DFE at a given noise to signal ratio, and apply corresponding adaptation rules which combine a blind infinite impulse response (IIR) filtering adaptation and the decision-directed least mean squared (DD-LMS) DFE adaptation. These adaptation approaches attempt to achieve not only smooth transition between acquisition and tracking of DFE but also mitigation of error propagation.

이 논문에서는 조정 가능한 소프트 판정기를 이용하여 자력복구 판정궤한 채널등화기의 적응 모드를 포착모드와 추적 모드 사이에서 최적화하는 기법들을 제안한다. 제안된 기법들은 주어진 SNR에 따라 소프트 판정기를 최적화하여 DFE를 위한 궤환 신호를 생성하고 그에 따라 자력복구 IIR 필터 적응모드와 DD-LMS 적응모드를 결합한 적응방식을 적용한다. 제안된 기법들은 포착모드와 추적모드 사이의 최적화된 스위칭을 성취할뿐아니라 DFE 에러 propagation을 최소화하는데도 기여한다.
