In this paper, a blind adaptive equalization algorithm based on PDF-distance minimization and a set of Delta functions is introduced and its superior robustness against impulsive noise and multipath characteristics of underwater communication channels is proved. The conventional CMA based on MSE has shown to be incapable of coping with impulsive noise, and correntropy blind algorithm has also revealed to yield not satisfying performance for the mission. On the other hand, the blind adaptive equalization algorithm based on PDF-distance minimization and a set of Delta functions has been proved to solve effectively the problem of impulsive noise and multipath characteristics of underwater communication channels through theoretical and simulation analysis.

본 논문에서는 빠른 수렴 속도를 가지면서 정상 상태에서 작은 오차 레벨을 유지하 는 이중모드 형태의 Stop-and-Go 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 특별한 결정 영 역을 설정하여 등화기 출력 레벨이 어느 영역에 속하느냐에 따라 MCMA와 판정지향 알고 리즘을 결합한 변형된 Stop-and-Go 알고리즘과 기존의 Stop-and-Go 알고리즘의 동작을 자동 전환한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험 결과, 제안한 알고리즘이 CMA, MCMA 및 Stop-and-Go 알고리즘등과 같은 기존의 적응 블라인드 등화 알고리즘들에 비해 잔류 심볼간 간섭과 정상 상태로의 수렵 속도면에서 모두 우수한 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.

지상파 DTV 전송 시스템은 "training sequence"를 이용한 결정 궤환 등화기(DFE)를 사용한다. 이 등화기는 정적 다중경로 환경에서는 심볼 간의 간섭을 적절히 제거하는 반면, 동적 다중경로 환경에서는 "training sequence" 의 주기가 채널 효율 문제로 충분히 짧지 않기 때문에 충분히 제거하지 못하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 이 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 "training sequence" 를 이용한 DFE와 선형 등화기, 블라인드 DFE와 선형 등화기 및 혼합형 DFE를 구현하여 정적 채널과 동적 채널에 대한 성능을 분석하였다.

Adaptive channel equalization complished without resorting to a training sequence is known as blind equalization. In this paper, in order to increase the speed of the convergence and to reduce the steady-state mean squared error simulatneously, we propose the multi-stage DD(decision-direct) algorithm derived from the combination of the Sato algorithm and the decision-directed algorithm. In the starting stage, the multi-stage DD algorithm is identical to the Sato algorithm which guarantees the convergence of the equalizer. As the blind equalizer converges, the number of the level of the quantizers is increased gradally, so that the proposed algorithm operates identical to the decision-directed algorithm which leads to the low error power after the convergence. Therefore, the multi-stage DD algorithm obtains fast convergence rate and low steady state mean squared error.

CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) is one of the well-known algorithms in blind acoustic channel equalization. Generally, CMA converges slowly and the speed of convergence is dependent on a step-size in the CMA procedure. Many researches have tried to speed up the convergence speed by applying a variable step-size to CMA, e.g. the orthogonal projection CMA and algebraic optimal step-size CMA. In this paper, we summarize these two algorithms, and we propose a new CMA with improved convergence performance. The improvement comes from the switching between the orthogonal projection CMA and algebraic optimal step-size CMA. In simulation results, we show the performance improvement in the time invariant channels as well as in time varying channel.

The MCMA adaptive blind equalization algorithm has a excellent phase correction capabilities in addition to channel amplitude equalization, but has an inevitable error by mismatching between the original constellation points in arriving at the perfect equalization since unique new type constellation points are used as desired response instead of original constellation points and follows the slow convergence speed of CMA. In this paper, We propose an adaptive blind equalization algorithm with dual-mode, which has decision regions. Inside the decision regions, it operates as considering the moudlus of original data symbol point and outside the decision region, it operates as considerin gthe modulus of new constellation points. The proposed algorithm has a lower error in the steady state and rapid convergence speed toward steady state using the original data symbol points instead of new constellation points in the decision regions. From computer simulation, we confirm that the propposed algorithm has the performance superiority in residual ISI, convergence speed compared with the cnventional adaptive blind equalization algorithms, CMA, MCMA, Stop-and-Go algorithm.

MMA(Multi-Modulus Algorithm) is inferior at a initial equalization in high ISI(intersymbol interference), because it is the inaccurate decision. To improve this probel SMMA(Sliced Multi-Modulus Algorithm) is based on using the MCMA(Modified Constant Modulus Algorithm). SMMA is a improved capability than MMA in high SNR but is inaccurate decision in low SNR. In this paper, We propose some multi-modulus blind equalization algorithm scheme. It is a method of operation in some multi-modulus algorithm which does no obstruct a convergence property at the initial equalization in the low SNR. Proposed algorithm improves the steady-state performance. And it uses residual ISI of the equalizer output in order to decide the optimum switching time between the single modulus and the multi-modulus algorithm.

This paper presentsthe performance study of blind equalizer algorithms for impulsive-noise environments based on Gaussian kernel and constant modulus error(CME). Constant modulus algorithm(CMA) based on CME and mean squared error(MSE) criterion fails in impulsive noise environment. Correntropy blind method recently introduced for impulsive-noise resistance has shown in PAM system not very satisfying results. It is revealed in theoretical and simulation analysis that the maximization of zero-error probability based on CME(MZEP-CME) originally proposed for Gaussian noise environments produces superior performance in impulsive noise channels as well. Gaussian kernel of MZEP-CME has a strong effect of becoming insensitive to the large differences between the power of impulse-infected outputs and the constant modulus value.

An adaptive blind equalization is a technique using to minimize the Inter-symbol Interference occurred on a communication channel in the transmission of the high speed digital data. In this paper, we propose a blind equalization more improving performance of the conventional MSAGF-MMA adaptive blind equalization algorithm by applying a multiple step size. This algorithm apply a LMS algorithm with a several step size according to each region divided by absolute values of decision-directed error to MSAGF-MMA. By computer simulation, it is confirmed that the proposed algorithm has a performance highly enhanced in terms of a convergence speed, a residual ISI and a residual error and an ensemble averaged MSE in a steady status compared with MMA and MSAGF-MMA.
