In this paper, a structure for a nonlinear adaptive equalizer is discussed to reduce nonlinearity in digital high-density recording systems. We propose a nonlinear adaptive decision feedback equalizer which can reduce the nonlinear intersymbol interference increasing with high-density recording systems, and compare its performance with the RAM-DFE which is designed to remove nonlinear intersymbol interference existing in postcursor part. By observing the output SNR of each equalizer applied to recording channels with three different densities. we confirm that the nonlinear adaptive decision feedback equalizer performs the best in the general case where nonlinear intersymbol interference exists in both precursor and postcursor parts.

This paper proposes a DFE (Decision Feedback Equalizer) equalizer ASIC using the Multi-Modulus Algorithm (MMA) for cable modem applications. We believe that it is the first effort to combine the DFE structure and the MMA algorithm. The proposed equalizer has been designed for 64/256 QAM modems. The existing MMA equalizer uses two transversal filters and updates two tap weights while the proposed equalizer uses two DFE filter banks to improve the channel adaptive performance and to reduce the number of taps and updates only one tap weights. We have used the 0.35 $\mu\textrm{m}$ standard cell library. The implemented equalizer ASIC operates at 8 MHz and provides 64 Mbps which is higher than existing equalizers. The total number of gates are about 160,000.

기존 ATSC 시스템의 시간영역 채널 추정은 많은 탭을 사용하고 복잡도가 높지만 OFDM과 같이 보호구간을 이용하여 주파수 영역 등화기를 사용하면 복잡도를 낮추면서 정확한 채널 보상이 가능하다. 본 논문은 ATSC 시스템의 프레임에 보호구간을 삽입하여 주파수 영역 채널 등화를 제안하였다. 또한 DTV수신기의 성능을 확인하기 위해 브라질 채널을 이용하여 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 성능을 확인하였다.

The signal in wireless multi-path channel is affected by fading and ISI because of high data rate transmission, so the signal has the high error rate. The present modulation and demodulation method of DSRC system can not expect sufficient for providing data service over 1 Mbps, so the channel equalization and advanced modulation and demodulation methods are required. OFDM is generally known as an effective technique for high data rate transmission system, since it can prevent ISI by inserting a guard interval. However, a guard interval longer than channel delay spread has to be used in each OFDM symbol period, thus resulting a considerable loss in the efficiency of channel utilization Therefore the equalizer is necessary to cancel ISI to accommodate advanced ITS service with higher bit rate and longer channel delay spread condition In this paper, the channel equalizer for the OFDM -DSRC system was designed and its performance in a multi-path fading environment was evaluated with computer simulation.

The decision feedback equalizer(DFE) received recent attention since it can compensate for channels with severe intersymbol interference(ISI) without as much noise enhancement as the linear equalizer(LE). In this paper, we propose a new DFE which can icrease the performance of DFE further by using error feedback. The performance increase is achieved by reducing correlation of error signal, which cannot be reduced by the feedforward or feedback filter. Hardware complexity for the proposed approcach is minimal since it requires only additional few taps to the conventional DFE. Based on theoretical analysis and computer simulations, the proposed approach is shown to be much more effective than the conventional DFE, especially for channels with large ISI.

CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) is one of the famous algorithms in blind 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. In this paper, we propose a new CMA algorithm with improved convergence performance. The improvement comes from an orthogonal projection of an average error gradient. We show the improvement in simulation results.

Recently, digital communication system becomes high speed, as communication demand dose not only increases sharply, but an image, voice various kinds data also comes multimedia. In transmitting data at a high speed, the main problem is fading by multipath. A linear or nonlinear distortion arise In multipath channel fading from ISI(Intersymbol Interference). For restoring this distorted signal, A lot of equalizer and adaptive algorithm is introduced. This paper compares and analysises, for improving communication quality in channel which is long delay spread, performance of decision feedback equalizer by RLS algorithm, a channel estimation by RLS-MLSE and viterbi equalizer Particularly, there Is exactly channel estimation of impluse response and excellent property of equalization about channel, which delay spread is long impluse response comparatively and is property of non-minimun phase.

This paper describes an equalizer using the DFE (Decision Feedback Equalizer) structure, CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) and LMS (Least Mean Square) algorithms. The DFE structure has better channel adaptive performance and lower BER than the transversal structure. The proposed equalizer can be used for 16/64 QAM modems. We employ high speed multipliers, square logics and many CSAs (Carry Save Adder) for high speed operations. We have developed floating-point models and fixed-point models using the COSSAP$\^$TM/ CAD tool and developed VHDL filter. The proposed equalizer shows low BER in multipath fading channel. We have performed models. From the simulation results, we employ a 12 tap feedback filter and a 8 tap feedforward logic synthesis using the SYNOPSYS$\^$TM/ CAD tool and the SAMSUNG 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ standard cell library (STD80) and verified function and timing simulations. The total number of gates is about 130,000.

In this paper, a blind nonlinear channel equalization is implemented by using a Modified Fuzzy C-Means (MFCM) algorithm. The proposed MFCM searches the optimal channel output states of a nonlinear channel from the received symbols, based on the Bayesian likelihood fitness function instead of a conventional Euclidean distance measure. Next, the desired channel states of a nonlinear channel are constructed with the elements of estimated channel output states, and placed at the center of a Radial Basis Function (RBF) equalizer to reconstruct transmitted symbols. In the simulations, binary signals are generated at random with Gaussian noise. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of a hybrid genetic algorithm (GA merged with simulated annealing (SA): GASA), and the relatively high accuracy and fast searching speed are achieved.
