Abstract

This paper proposes the RMMA (Region based Multiple Modulus Algorithm) algorithm that is possible to improving the performance of MMA adaptive equalization algorithm in order to the reduction of intersymbol interference occurs at the communication channel. In RMMA algorithm, the output constellation of equalizer are divided by 4 different regions in order to get the error signal for adapting the channel characteristic, and the small error signal is obtained by mapping each region to 4-QAM signal. The conversion effect of constant modulus from nonconstant modulus signal was obtained. In this paper, the adaptive equalization performance of proposed RMMA were evaluated comared to the present MMA. As a result of computer simulation, the convergence speed and residual quantity were improved in residual isi and MD. Especially the superiorities of robustness was confirm in SER performance compared to present MMA.

본 논문에서는 통신 채널에서 발생되는 부호간 간섭 영향을 최소화시키기 위한 MMA 적응 등화 알고리즘의 성능을 개선시키기 위한 RMMA (Region based Multiple Modulus Algorithm) 알고리즘을 제안한다. RMMA 알고리즘에서는 적응을 위한 오차 신호를 얻기 위하여 등화기 출력 constellation을 4개의 영역으로 분할한 후 각 영역별로 4-QAM 신호로 매핑하므로서 nonconstant modulus 신호를 constant modulus 신호로의 변환 효과를 얻으며, 이로 인하여 더욱 적은 오차 신호를 얻을 수 있게 된다. 논문에서는 제안 알고리즘인 RMMA의 적응 등화 성능을 평가하기 위하여 기존 방식인 MMA와 비교하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과 잔류 isi와 MD에서 수렴 속도와 잔류양에서 개선되었으며, 특히 SER에서 기존 MMA보다 월등함을 알 수 있었다.
