Abstract

For blind equalization, we propose a method of updating an equalizer, which generates an error from selectively applying a transmitted symbol constellation and that of induced equivalently from the transmitted symbol constellation and updates the equalizer by using this error. The proposed method, by selectively using the symbol constellation effective for improvement of symbol estimation accuracy and that of effective for improvement of error performance, showed that it is possible to improve the error performance at the same time to open the eye diagram of equalizer output quickly. As a criterion applying the symbol constellation, we used the dispersion of symbol points of equalizer output. In addition, to increase the accuracy of updating an equalizer the error was controlled by using current and previous dispersions. By simulation, under multipath channel with additive noise, we verified the equalization performance of the proposed method for 64-QAM.

블라인드 등화 시에, 송신된 심볼점과 이로부터 등가적으로 유도된 심볼점을 선택적으로 적용하여 오차를 발생시키고, 이를 이용하여 등화기를 갱신하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 심볼 추정의 정확도 향상과 오차 개선에 효과적인 심볼점을 각각 적용하여 등화기 출력의 눈모형을 빠르게 열리게 하면서 동시에 오차 성능을 개선할 수 있음을 보였다. 심볼점을 적용하는 기준으로는 등화기 출력이 형성하는 심볼점들의 분산을 사용하였다. 아울러 등화기 갱신의 정확도를 높이기 위해 현재 및 이전 분산을 활용하여 오차를 조절하였다. 모의실험을 통해 잡음이 부가된 다중경로 채널 하에서 64-QAM에 대해 제안 방식의 등화 성능을 검증하였다.
