Abstract

This paper relates with the performance improvement of SE-MMA (Signed Error-Multiple Modulus Algorithm) adaptive equalization algorithm that is used for the reduction of the intersymbol interference due to the distortion which occurs in the communication channel for the transmission of 16-QAM nonconstant modulus signal.. In the conventional MMA, the fixed modulus value that is second order statistics of transmitting signal were used, and the SE-MMA was introduced in order to the simplification of the algorithm's arithmetic operation. The SE-MMA have a fast convergence speed than MMA, but it has a problem of degradation of equalization performance in the steady state due to the arithmetic simplification. In this paper, we propose the new algorithm AV-SE-MMA (Adaptively Varying-SE-MMA) that uses the adaptive varying modulus in order to obtain the error signal for updating the adaptive equalizer coefficient, and its equalization performance were confirmed by simulation. In this paper, the performance of SE-MMA and proposed algorithm were compared, and the equalizer output signal constellation, residual isi, MSE and SER in order to confirm the robustness of noise were used as performace index. As a result of performance comparison, the AV-SE-MMA has better performance in output signal constellation, residual isi and MD compared to the SE-MMA, but it was confirmed that the AV-SE-MMA has similar in the SER performance that means the robustness to the noise.

본 논문은 16-QAM nonconstant modulus 특성을 갖는 신호 전송시 통신 채널에서 발생되는 찌그러짐에 의한 부호간 간섭을 줄일 수 있는 적응 등화 알고리즘인 SE-MMA (Signed Error - Multiple Modulus Algorithm) 성능의 개선에 관한 것이다. 기존 MMA에서는 송신 신호의 2차 통계치인 modulus를 고정적으로 사용하며 이의 연산량의 간소화를 위하여 SE-MMA가 등장하였다. SE-MMA는 수렴 속도에서는 MMA보다 빨라지만 연산량의 간소화로 인하여 정상 상태에서 등화 성능이 열화되는 문제점이 있으므로, 논문에서는 SE-MMA의 특징을 살리면서 adaptive varying modulus에 의한 오차 신호를 이용하여 적응 등화 필터 계수를 얻음으로서 개선된 등화 성능을 얻을 수 있는 새로운 알고리즘인 AV-SE-MMA를 제안하며 이의 성능을 시뮬레이션으로 확인하였다. 이를 위한 성능 지수로는 등화기 출력 신호 성상도, 잔류 isi양, MD 및 잡음에 대한 robustness를 확인하기 위하여 SER를 사용하였다. 성능의 비교 결과 출력 신호 성상도, 잔류 isi 및 MD에서는 제안 방식인 AV-SE-MMA가 SE-MMA보다 우월하였지만 잡음에 대한 robustness를 나타내는 SER 성능에서는 동등함을 알 수 있었다.
