Abstract

This paper proposes an adaptive algorithm based on a method of dynamic error signal generation suitable for signal state by examining the equalizer output signal in blind equalization. In the proposed method, it estimates the error signals using single modulus and multiple modulus each effective to the early stage of equalization or steady-state, and it generates a new error signal from the two error estimates. Two equalizer structures are implemented and their performances are compared: 1-equalizer structure that generates a new error signal by combining the two error estimates weightedly and updates the equalizer using this, and 2-equalizer structure that updates two equalizers respectively depending on the weights of the two error signals. In the proposed method, as the error signals were generated optimally before and after the initial convergence respectively, it was confirmed by computer simulations that the equalizer was updated effectively.

이 논문에서는 블라인드 등화에서 등화기 출력 신호를 조사하여 신호 상태에 적합한 오차 신호를 동적으로 발생시키는 방식의 적응 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 방식에서는 단일 모듈러스와 다중 모듈러스를 사용하여 각각 등화 초기와 정상상태에서 효과적인 오차 신호를 추정하고, 두 추정 오차로부터 새로운 오차 신호를 생성한다. 이때 두 오차 신호를 가중 결합하여 새로운 오차 신호를 발생시키고 이를 이용하여 등화기를 갱신하는 1-등화기 구조와, 두 오차 신호의 가중치에 따라 두 등화기를 각각 갱신하는 2-등화기 구조를 구현하고 성능을 비교하였다. 제안 방식에서는 초기 수렴 이전과 이후에서 각각 적합한 오차 신호를 생성함에 따라 등화기 갱신이 효과적으로 이루어짐을 모의실험을 통하여 확인하였다.
