The process of transmitting messages through a medium with a limited bandwidth or channel dispersion inevitably involves signal distortion and noise influxes, resulting in the degradation of transmission quality due to the inter-symbol interference and additional noise, which increases the error rate of the received symbols. The main role of the equalizer is to remove the channel distortion and noise from the received signal to recover the transmitted messages. A number of studies on the equalizer composed of a combination of linear filter and error control coding have shown that they played a key role in enhancing the transmission efficiency, which is essential for digital communication. This paper proposes a new algorithm to correct the residual symbol errors in the message signal. In general, equalizer performance improvement algorithms were developed to improve the initial convergence speed or steady-state error. In this paper, however, the equalizer input signal was reconstructed using the equalizer decision symbols and the channel estimates to directly correct the decision errors by analyzing the statistical characteristics of the difference signal between the actual received signal and the reconstructed signal.

The CMA algorithmis most widely investigated blind algorithm and the most widely used one in practice. But, since nonlinear CM cost function have not closed form solution about the optimum weight. There have been difficultiesto analyze the CMA equalizer's theoretical performance. Recently, Zeng presents the notable theoretical resultabout the MSE of CM-minimizing estimators for the FIR linear channel in the presence of AWGN. Through this method, It wouldbe possible to campare the theoretical performance between CMA and Wiener equalizer in terms of MSE. In this paper, based on Zeng's method, we first calculate the theoretical MSE bound of CMA equalizer in partial response channel which is widely used in HDD, digital VCR such as high-density digital recording.playback systems. We confirmedthis result withthe computer simulation. Except this, we also performedthe theoretical and simulation analysis about the modified CMA equalizer, which was proposed to improve the performance of CMA equalizer in partial response channel. Finally, we compare and evaluate the performance analysis results between CMA and Modified CMA equalizer.

ISI is caused by delay spread in the multipath channel environment. There are two kinds of channel equalizer: Linear and Non-Linear type according to the structures. In this paper, we propose an improved adaptive linear equalizer to mitigate ISI. The proposed adaptive equalizer is constructed by using asymmetrical Dsmvenu filter based on USE sub-optimal receiver. Asymmetrical structure of the transversal filter is realized by moving the main tap position from center to side. If this structure is used, we can divide ISI to precusor and postcusor. As a result the proposed equalizer has a larger extended compensation range than conventional adaptive linear equalizer. In computer simulation, we compare the bit error rate performance of the proposed linear equalizer with the conventional one on the S-V channel which is modeled for WB systems.

In this paper, We have designed and analyzed a characteristics of backplane channel having 40 inch strip line length of four lanes and Flame Retardant four (PR-4) material, and have designed 40 Gb/s Receive and adaptive equalizer and its high-speed equalization algorithm using the backplane channel characteristics. For 40 Gb/s high-speed data communications pass through the backplane, a 10Gb/s 4 channel receive & equalizer with DFE except for FFE was proposed. This receive and equalizer meets the requirements of the IEEE Std P802.3ba standard-based receive equalizer to implement equalizers on the receive end of a 46 inch length's backplane channel.

The 8-VSB modulation, the transmission standard for the terrestrial digital television(DTV) of the Advanced Television Systems Committee(ATSC), suffers from multipath fading because it conveys information on the amplitude. To solve this problem, decision feedback equalizers(DFE's) have been commonly used in terrestrial DTV receivers. However, under severe channels, such as a 0 dB ghost channel or a single frequency network (SFN) channel, the DFE shows unstable convergence due to the error propagation caused by decision errors. Instead of unstable time-domain DFE schemes, by proposing a frequency-domain direct-inversion equalization method, we try to guarantee stable equalization and achieve low symbol error rates. To secure the existence of a channel inverse, channel-matched filtering and noncausal filtering are carried out prior to equalization. Simulation results show that the proposed method performs much better than existing DFE schemes in terms of both the stability and the symbol error rate.

Recently, to utilize the limited bandwidth effectively, the concept of partial response (PR) signaling has widely been adopted in both the high-speed data transmission and high-density digital recording/playback systems such as digital microwave, digital subscriber loops, hard disk drives, digital VCR's and digital versatile recordable disks and so on. This paper is concerned with adaptive equalization of partial response channels particularly for the magnetic recording channels. Specifically we study how the PR channel equalizers work for different choices of desired or reference signals used for adjusting the equalizer weights. In doing so, we consider three different configurations that are actually implemented in the commercial products mentioned above. First of all, we show how to compute the theoretical values of the optimum Wiener solutions derived by minimizing the mean-squared error (MSE) at the equalizer output. Noting that this equalizer MSE measure cannot be used to fairly compare the three configurations, we propose to use the data MSE that is computer just before the final detector for the underlying PR system. We also express the data MSE in terms of the channel impulse response values, source data power and additive noise power, thereby making it possible to compare the performance of the configurations under study. The results of extensive computer simulation indicate that our theoretical derivation is correct with high precision. Comparing the three configurations, it also turns out that one of the three configurations needs to be further improved in performance although it has an apparent advantage over the others in terms of memory size when implemented using RAM's for the decision feedback part.

We verified that both of the designed equalizers show good convergence characteristics and that the performance of the time domain equalizer is 1 dB better than that of the frequency domain equalizer overall range of Eb/No.

This paper investigates the performance of Turbo equalization in wireless multipath channels. Turbo equalization mainly consists of a SISO(soft-in soft-out) equalizer and a SISO decoder. Iterative channel estimators can improve the accuracy of channel estimates by soft information fed back from the SISO decoder. Comparing iterative channel estimators with LMS(least mean square) and RLS(recursive least squares) algorithms, which are the most common algorithms to estimate and track a time-varying channel impulse response, the iterative channel estimator with RLS converges more faster than the one with LMS. However, the difference of BER(bit error rate) performances gradually decreases as the number of iterations for Turbo equalization increases.

본 논문에서는 적응형 OFDM 시스템의 채널 추정 알고리즘과 무선 채널환경에서 시스템에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 추정된 결과를 이용하여 적응형 등화기를 적용한 적응형 OFDM 시스템의 성능을 BER과 성좌도를 통하여 분석한다. 분석결과, 기존의 고정된 변조 방식을 사용하는 시스템인 경우 고속의 데이터 전송을 위해 높은 지수의 변조모드(64QAM)를 사용함으로써 채널 환경에 민감하게 심볼오류 발생률이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 채널상태에 따라 가변을 취하는 적응형 OFDM 시스템의 경우 64QAM방식에 비해 (BER=10-2)를 기준으로 약 8dB 성능의 이득이 있음을 알 수 있고 적응형 등화기를 적용함에 따라 왜곡을 받은 신호 파형의 보상이 가능함을 알 수 있다. 무수한 장애의 요인을 갖은 무선 채널환경에서 효율적인 데이터 전송을 위해 적응변조시스템이 요구되어짐을 알 수 있었다.
