Abstract

This paper deals with AM-SMMA (Adaptive Modulus-SMMA) adaptive equalization algorithm that is possible to improves the equalization performance using adaptive modulus which is propotional to the output signal power of equalizer in the current SMMA algorithm. The fixed statistic modulus of transmitted QAM signal is used in current SMMA algorithm in order to generate the error signal for updating the tap coefficient of equalizer. The adaptive modulus which is propotion to the equalizer output signal power is used in the proposed AM-SMMA. The computer simulation was performed in order to confirm the improved equalization performance of proposed algorithm. The performance index includes the output signal constellation, the residual isi and maximum distortion that is for the convergence characteristics, the SER. As a result of computer simulation, the residual isi, maximum distortion are better in the small weighting values. But in SER performance is better in the large weighting values.

본 논문에서는 SMMA (Sliced Multi Modulus Algorithm) 등화 알고리즘에서 등화기의 출력 전력에 비례하는 adaptive modulus를 이용하므로서 등화 성능을 개선할 수 있는 AM-SMMA 알고리즘에 대하여 다룬다. 기존 SMMA 알고리즘에서는 등화기의 탭 계수 갱신을 위한 오차 신호를 발생할 때 송신측 QAM 신호의 통계 특성치인 modulus를 고정적으로 사용하지만, 제안 AM-SMMA에서는 등화기 출력 신호의 전력에 비례토록 modulus를 적응적으로 사용하게 된다. 제안 알고리즘의 개선된 등화 성능을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하며, 성능 지수로는 등화기 출력 신호 성상도, 수렴 특성을 나타내는 잔류 isi, 최대 찌그러짐과 채널의 신호대 잡음비에 따른 SER을 사용하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 slice 가중치가 적으면 잔류isi, 최대 찌그러짐 성능이 우월하며, 가중치가 큰 경우 SER 성능이 우월함을 확인하였다.
