Abstract

This paper relates with the eualization performance of Constellation Matching-MMA (CM-MMA) in order to the consists of optimum receiver for the minimization of intersymbol interference and additive noise effects that is occurs in the nonlinear communication channel. The error signal were obtained that combines the Constellation Matching technique that inserts the zero point between the signal point of equalizer for improving the residual isi and convergence speed compared to the currently used MMA algorithm. In the initial state of adaptive equalization, it depends on the MMA characteristics mainly. And in the steady state, it depends on the CM characteristics mainly. In order to analyzing the equalization performance, the output signal constellation, residual isi, maximum distortion, MSE and SER were applied, then it were compared with the present MMA algorithm. As a result of computer simulation, the CM-MMA has more better performance in the every performance index, and it was also confirmed that the constellation matching effect can be obtained in the greater than 20dB signal to noise ratio.

본 논문은 통신 채널에서 발생되는 부호간 간섭과 잡음의 영향을 최소화하여 최적 수신기를 구성하기 위한 적응 등화 알고리즘인 Constellation Matching-MMA의 등화 성능에 관한 것이다. 기존의 적응 등화 알고리즘 MMA에 등화기의 신호점간에 강제로 0점을 삽입하는 개념인 Constellation Matching 기법을 조합시켜 오차 신호를 얻으므로 잔류 isi와 수렴 속도를 개선할 수 있다. 적응 등화의 초기 상태에서는 주로 MMA의 특성을 가지지만, 정상 상태에 진입한 후에는 주로 CM 특성이 적용된다. 등화 성능의 분석을 위하여 등화기 출력 성상도, 잔류 isi, 최대 찌그러짐과 MSE와 SER을 적용하여 기존 MMA와 비교하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션의 결과 모든 성능에서는 CM-MMA가 MMA 보다 우월하였으며, SER에서는 신호대 잡음비가 20dB 이상일 때 CM의 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.
