Many multi-modulus blind equalization algorithms (MMA) have been presented in the past to overcome the undesirable high misadjustment exhibited by the well-known constant modulus algorithm. Some of these MMA schemes, specifically tailored for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellations, have also been proved to fix the phase offset error without needing any rotator at the end of the equalizer stage. In this paper, a new multi-modulus algorithm is presented for QAM signals. The contribution lies in the technique to incorporate the sliced symbols (outcomes of decision device) in the multi-modulus-based weight adaptation process. The convergence characteristics of the proposed sliced multi-modulus algorithm (S-MMA) is demonstrated by way of simulations, and it is shown that it gives better steady-state performance in terms of residual inter-symbol interference and symbol-error rate. It has also been shown that the proposed algorithm exhibits lesser steady-state misadjustment compared to the best reported MMA.

This paper presents a half-rate current-integrating DFE receiver with sub-unit interval (sub-UI) inter-symbol interference (ISI) cancellation. By having a single additional DFE tap in each data path, the proposed DFE receiver can minimize BER degradation due to input pattern dependency and feedback tap latency problems in conventional current-integrating DFE receivers. The proposed DFE receiver was designed and fabricated in a 45 nm CMOS process, whose measurement results indicated that the BER bathtub width is increased from 0.235 UI to 0.315 UI (34% improvement) at $10^{-12}$ BER level.

The third generation mobile communications system requiring the reliable multimedia data transmission has provided with the reliable voice, data and video services over the variable propagation environment. However the broadband wireless multiple access technologies cause Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) or Multiple Access Interference (MAI) to degrade the performance of W-CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) system. Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) which is frequently used as the adaptive blind equalizers to remove the interfering signal has ill-convergence phenomenon without proper initialization. In this paper, new blind equalization method based on conventional CMA is proposed to improve the channel efficiency, and through computer simulation this is tested over the time varying fading environment of mobile communication system. Consequently, new blind equalization method into concatenated Kalman filter with CMA is verified better than conventional CMA through adopting minimum mean square errors and eye-pattern obtained from algorithm are compared.

In this paper, minimum mean-squared-error(MMSE) and blind equalization schemes were employed to improve bit-error-rate(BER) and to reduce inter-symbol interference(ISI) generated during storage and retrieval processes of two-dimensional data in a digital holographic data storage system. We explained methods for designing and applying MMSE and blind equalization to improve BER in a digital holographic data storage system. From experimental evaluations, we compared the BER performances of MMSE and blind equalization and we showed that the BER performances of MMSE and blind equalization were improved significantly compared with those before equalization.

Blind channel identification and equalization attempt to identify the communication channel and to remove the inter-symbol interference caused by a communication channel without using any known trainning sequences. In this paper, we propose a blind adaptive channel identification and equalization algorithm with phase offset compensation for single-input multiple-output (SIMO) channel. It is based on the one-step forward multichannel linear prediction error method and can be implemented by an RLS algorithm. Phase offset problem, we use a blind adaptive algorithm called the constant modulus derotator (CMD) algorithm based on condtant modulus algorithm (CMA). Moreover, unlike many known subspace (SS) methods or cross relation (CR) methods, our proposed algorithms do not require channel order estimation. Therefore, our algorithms are robust to channel order mismatch.

수중에서의 음향 통신의 성능은 신호의 다중경로 전달과정에 의해 발생하는 지역 확산 현상으로 인하여 인접 심볼간 간섭의 영향을 받는다. 따라서 인접 심볼간 간섭을 제거하기 위하여 수중 통신에 적합한 등화기 기술, 채널 부호화 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 다중 경로 환경에서 원활한 통신과 함께 수신 신호의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 낮은 SNR에서 우수한 성능을 보이는 BCJR 복호기와 다중 경로로 인해 왜곡된 데이터를 보상하기 위한 기법인 결정 궤환 등화기가 결합된 반복기반 BCJR등화기 구조를 제안하고, 경북 문경 경천호에서의 실제 수중 실험을 통하여 제안한 구조의 성능이 반복횟수의 증가에 따라 향상됨을 알 수 있다.

To investigate the equalizer performance in underwater acoustic communication m the presence of intersymbol interference (ISI) due to multipath, computer simulations are carried out in discrete multipath shallow water channels for three different horizontal ranges. For the purpose of computation simplicity, least mean square (LMS) algorithm is adopted both in linear equalizer and nonlinear equalizer, decision feedback equalizer (DFE) to cancel out ISI effects. Binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signals have been transmitted with high data rate of 2000bps through the use of equalization technique. The results demonstrate that equalization is an efficient way to achieve high transmission data rate in the shallow water channel.

It is well known that the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) presents a large steady-state mean-square error (MSE) for high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity hybrid adaptive blind equalization algorithm, which augments the CMA error function with a novel constellation matched error (CME) term. The most attractive advantage of the proposed algorithm is that it is computationally simpler than concurrent CMA and soft decision-directed (SDD) scheme (CMA+SDD), and modified CMA (MCMA), while the approximation of steady-state MSE of the proposed algorithm is same with CMA+SDD, and lower than MCMA. Extensive simulations demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

본 논문에서는 OFDM 시스템에 있어서 심블간 간섭을 일으키는 채널에 대해 lattice 필터를 사용한 등화기의 등화 특성을 검토하였다. Lattice 괼터를 사용한 등화기는 다른 등화기와 비교해서 단수마다의 직교화 효과에 의해, 탭 수가 작아도 수렴이 빠르고 등화 오차를 작게 할 수 있는 특징이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Lattice 필터를 사용한 등화기 필터 계수의 수렴성과 정적인 BER특성을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션에 의해 해석하고 Transversal 필터 방식에 비해서 우수한 보상 방식인 것을 보인다.

본 논문은 위성 방송 시스템 표준안인 DVB-S3(Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite)에서 전송률을 높이기 위해 제안되는 Nyquist rate 보다 빠르게 전송하는 FTN(Faster Than Nyquist) 기법과 LDPC(Low Density Parity Code) 부호간의 연접 부호기 구성 시, 인접 심볼간 간섭을 최소화하면서 전송률을 높이기 위한 효율적인 터보 등화 복호 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 FTN 복호 방식인 SIC(Successive Interference Cancellation) 기법을 이용한 복호 기법과 BCJR 등화기법에 관하여 소개하고, 두 기존 방식의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 FTN 신호를 복호하기 위해 LDPC 복호 신호를 분리된 외부 입력값을 BCJR 등화기와 연접하여 계산하여 반복 복호한다. 기존의 두 방식과 본 논문에서 제안하는 방식을 AWGN(Additive White Gausiian Noise) 채널 환경에서 시뮬레이션하여 성능을 비교한 결과, 기존의 방식과 비교하면 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있다.
