Abstract
This paper compare the adaptive equalization performance of RMMA (Region-based MMA) and SCA (Square Contour Algorithm) in order to minimize the intersymbol interference that is occurred in communication channel when transmit the multilevel QAM signal. The RMMA used for improving the performance by translate to 4-level constant modulus and stability in current MMA algorithm, and the SCA used for the improving the performacne by combines the current CMA and RCA algorithm. These algorithms are aimed to improving the equalization peformance by applying the differenct principle each other in multilevel QAM signal, its different performance were compared by computer simulation in the same channel environment. For this, the output signal constellation of equalizer, residual isi, maximum distortion were applied in performance index. As a result, RMMA have more fairly good in every performance index such as signal point clustering capabilities and convergence speed compared to SCA. It is confired that the equalization noise due to misadjumstment was reduced in RMMA than SCA.
