본 연구에서는 임펄스 잡음 환경 하에서, 대표적인 Bussgang계열의 블라인드 등화 알고리즘인 LMS-Sato 및 LMS-CMA 블라인드 등와 알고리즘의 수렴특성을 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통하여 살펴보았다. LMAD-Sato 및 LMAD-CMA 블라인드 등화 알고리즘을 유도 하고, 동일한 조건하에서 그 수렴특성을 살펴보았다. 16-QAM 데이터에 대한 실험 결과 임 펄스 잡음 환경 하에서 LMAD 형태의 블라인드 등화 알고리즘이 LMS 형태의 블라인드 등 화 알고리즘 보다 안정적인 수렴특성을 보여 주었다. 또한, normalized 형태의 LMAD-Sato 및 CMA 블라인드 등화 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 실험 결과 이들 알고리즘들이 임펄스 잡 음 환경에서 LMAD 형태의 알고리즘 보다 더 우수한 수렴 특성을 보여 주었다.

Convergence analysis on Godard's quartic(GQ) algorithm used for blind equalization is accomplished in this paper. First, we explain the local behavior of the GQ algoithm around the global minimum point of the average performance function. Then we consider the geometry of the average performance function. The main result is that a good initial parameter vector of the GQ algorithm can be chosen based on the information of the geometry of the average performance function.

In this paper, a blind decision feedback algorithm is proposed based on the ideas that the derivative of information potential for constant modulus errors stays relatively undisturbed even when large output differences are induced by severe channel distortions and this property can prevent the error propagation that is one of the main problems in decision feedback structures. From the simulation results of the steady state MSE, the proposed blind equalizer algorithm with decision feedback has yielded about 3 dB performance enhancement in the channel model without spectrum nulls and above 9 dB in severe channel characteristics with spectrum nulls.

An adaptive blind equalizer is used to combat the distortions caused by a nonideal channel without resorting to a training sequence, given the received signal and statistical information of the transmitted signal. Incidentally, a multipath channel may result in a fade which produces intersymbol interference in the received signal. Therefore, a new type of algorithm which can compenste the effects of this fade is required in the multipath channel environment. In this paper, a modified form of adaptive blind equalization algorithm using stop-and-go algorithm for multichannel system is proposed. It is demonstrated via computer simulations that the performance of the proposed multichannel stop-and-go algorithm is much better than that of the conventional multichannel algorithms.

In this paper, a blind adaptation method for a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is proposed to deal with nominimum phase channels. This equalizer is composed of a linear transversal filter and a prediction error filter which are trained separately using constant modulus and decision feedback prediction algorithms, respectively, during the learnign time. The proposed algorithm guaranetees the DFE to converge to a suboptimal point on the condition that a linear transversal of the proposed scheme is illustrated and the performance is compared with conventional blind equlization algorithms.

In this study, a modified Fuzzy C-Means algorithm with Gaussian weights (MFCM_GW) is presented for the problem of nonlinear blind channel equalization. The proposed algorithm searches for the optimal channel output states of a nonlinear channel based on received symbols. In contrast to conventional Euclidean distance in Fuzzy C-Means (FCM), the use of the Bayesian likelihood fitness function and the Gaussian weighted partition matrix is exploited in this method. In the search procedure, all possible sets of desired channel states are constructed by considering the combinations of estimated channel output states. The set of desired states characterized by the maxima] value of the Bayesian fitness is selected and updated by using the Gaussian weights. After this procedure, the Bayesian equalizer with the final desired states is implemented to reconstruct transmitted symbols. The performance of the proposed method is compared with those of a simplex genetic algorithm (GA), a hybrid genetic algorithm (GA merged with simulated annealing (SA):GASA), and a previously developed version of MFCM. In particular, a relative]y high accuracy and a fast search speed have been observed.

This paper deals with the performance comparison of adaptive equalization algorithm, CMA and MMA, that is used for the minimization of the distortion and noise effect in the communication channel at receiver.. We confirmed the application possibilities of the point to point or point to multipoint digital transmission technologies by analyzing the performance of MMA which is changing the error function of CMA that is the possible algorithm of fast equalization by relatively simple arithmatic computation compared to the other method. In CMA algorithm, we need the PLL for the amplitude compensation only and not possible to phase compensation inherently. But in MMA algorithm, we confired that the amplitude and phase of received signal can be compensated by computer simulation. For the comparison of algorithm, we used the essential performance index, convergence characteristics and residual isi. The result of performance comparison of algorithms, the MMA has good in convergence characteristic and the CMA has good in residual isi that is used for the amplitude compensation.

This paper relates with the VSDA (Variable stepsize Square contour Decision directed Algorithm) adaptive equalization algorithm that is used for the minimization of the intersymbol interference due to the distortion which occurs in the time dispersive channel for the transmission of 16-QAM signal.. In the conventional SCA, it is possible to compensates the amplitude and phase in the received signal that are mixed with the intersymbol interference by the constellatin dependent constant by using the 2nd order statistics of the transmitted signal. But in the VSDA, it is possible to the increasing the equalization performance by adding the concept of distance adjusted approach for constellation matching and the cost function of decision directed. We compare the performance of VSDA and SCA algorithm by the computer simulation. For this, the equalizer output signal constellation, residual isi, maximum distortion and MSE were used in the performace index. As a result of computer simulation, the VSDA algorithm has better than the SCA in convergence speed, but it gives nearly same equalization performance in other index.

This paper proposes a Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFT) with an error feedback filter for blind channel equalization. The proposed equalizer uses Least Mean Square(LMS) Algorithm and Multi-Modulus Algorithm (MMA), and has been designed for 64/256 QAM constellations. The existing MMA equalizer uses either two transversal filters or feedforward and feedback filers, while the proposed equalizer uses feedforward, feedback and error feedback filters to improve the channel adaptive performance and to reduce the number of taps. The proposed equalizer has been simulated using the $SPW^{TM}$ tool and it shows performance improvement. It has been modeled by VHDL and logic synthesis has been performed using the $0.25\;\mu m$ Faraday CMOS standard cell library. The total number of gates is about 190,000 gates. The proposed equalizer operates at 15 MHz. In addition, FPGA vertification has been performed using FPGA emulation board.

This paper proposes an adaptive algorithm based on a method of dynamic error signal generation suitable for signal state by examining the equalizer output signal in blind equalization. In the proposed method, it estimates the error signals using single modulus and multiple modulus each effective to the early stage of equalization or steady-state, and it generates a new error signal from the two error estimates. Two equalizer structures are implemented and their performances are compared: 1-equalizer structure that generates a new error signal by combining the two error estimates weightedly and updates the equalizer using this, and 2-equalizer structure that updates two equalizers respectively depending on the weights of the two error signals. In the proposed method, as the error signals were generated optimally before and after the initial convergence respectively, it was confirmed by computer simulations that the equalizer was updated effectively.
