A new blind equalization algorithm that is based on maximizing the probability that the constant modulus errors concentrate near zero is proposed. The cost function of the proposed algorithm is to maximize the probability that the equalizer output power is equal to the constant modulus of the transmitted symbols. Two blind information-theoretic learning (ITL) algorithms based on constant modulus error signals are also introduced: One for minimizing the Euclidean probability density function distance and the other for minimizing the constant modulus error entropy. The relations between the algorithms and their characteristics are investigated, and their performance is compared and analyzed through simulations in multi-path channel environments. The proposed algorithm has a lower computational complexity and a faster convergence speed than the other ITL algorithms that are based on a constant modulus error. The error samples of the proposed blind algorithm exhibit more concentrated density functions and superior error rate performance in severe multi-path channel environments when compared with the other algorithms.

본 논문에서 광대역 코드분할 다중접속 무선 중계기에서 간섭제거를 위한 새로운 CMF(Constant Modulus Fourth) 알고리즘을 제안한다. CMF 알고리즘은 고정 계수 알고리즘인 CMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm)를 수정한 것으로서, 스텝 사이즈를 적절하게 조절함에 따라 개선된 성능을 보이게 된다. 제안된 CMF 알고리즘에서 스텝사이즈가 0.35인 경우 수렴상태에서 평균 자승 에러는 기존 CMA 알고리즘보다 약 4 dB정도 더 낮다. 그리고, 평균 자승 에러 -25dB를 기준으로하면 LMS(Least Mean Square)와 NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square)보다 반복회수가 400~1100번 정도 줄어든다.

In this paper, as an alternative to constant modulus algorithm based on MSE, maximization of the probability that equalizer output power is equal to the constant modulus of the transmitted symbols is introduced. The proposed algorithm using the gradient ascent method to the maximum probability criterion has superior convergence and steady-state MSE performance, and the error samples of the proposed algorithm exhibit more concentrated density functions in blind equalization environments. Simulation results indicate that the proposed training has a potential advantage versus MSE training for the constant modulus approach to blind equalization.

The constant modulus algorithm (CMA) widely used in blind equalization applications minimizes the averaged power of constant modulus error (CME) defined as the difference between an instant output power and a constant modulus. In this paper, a decision feedback version of the linear blind algorithm based on maximization of the zero-error probability for CME is proposed. The Gaussian kernel of the maximum zero-error criterion is analyzed to have the property to cut out excessive CMEs that may be induced from severely distorted channel characteristics. Decision feedback approach to the maximum zero-error criterion for CME is developed based on the characteristic that the Gaussian kernel suppresses the outliers and this prevents error propagation to some extent. Compared to the linear algorithm based on maximum zero-error probability for CME in the simulation of blind equalization environments, the proposed decision feedback version has superior performance enhancement particularly in cases of severe channel distortions.

This paper presents an elastic-plastic solution for the circular tunnel of elastic-strain softening behavior considering the pressure-dependent Young's modulus and the nonlinear dilatancy. The proposed solution is verified by the results of the field measuring and numerical simulation from a practical project, and a published closed-form analysis solution. The influence of each factor is discussed in detail, and the ability of Young's modulus and dilatancy characterizing the mechanical response of surrounding rock is investigated. It is found that, in low levels of support pressure, adopting the constant Young's modulus model will seriously misestimate the surrounding rock deformation. Using the constant dilatancy model will underestimate the surrounding rock deformation. When adopting the constant dilatancy model, as the dilation angle increases, the range of the plastic region increases, and the surrounding rock deformation weakens. When adopting the nonlinear dilatancy, the plastic region range and the surrounding rock deformation are the largest. The surrounding rock deformation using pressure-dependent Young's modulus model is between those resulted from two constant Young's modulus models. The constant α of pressuredependent Young's modulus model is the main factor affecting the tunnel displacement. The influence of α using a constant dilatancy model is much more apparent than that using a nonlinear dilatancy model.

본 논문에서는 2차원 16-QAM 신호 전송시 채널에서 발생되는 찌그러짐을 보상하기 위한 CR-MMA(Constellation Reduction - Multiple Modulus Algorithm)와 FC-MMA (Fast Convergence - Multiple Modulus Algorithm) 등화 알고리즘의 성능을 비교하였다. CR-MMA 적응 등화기는 탭 계수 갱신을 위하여 nonconstant modulus 신호를 constant modulus 신호로 축소하여 오차 신호를 이용하지만, FC-MMA 적응 등화기는 신호점의 축소 대신 신호 심볼의 레벨수를 고려한 수정된 dispersion constant를 적용하여 오차 신호를 이용한다. 이들 알고리즘들은 MMA 계열중에서 수렴 특성이 우수한 것으로 알려져 있으므로, 본 논문에서는 수렴 특성을 포함한 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 FC-MMA는 출력 신호 성상도와 잔류 isi 및 최대 찌그러짐과 SER 성능이 CR-MMA보다 우월하지만, 수렴 속도가 늦어짐을 알 수 있었다.

Blind equalization techniques have been widely used in wireless communication systems. In this paper, we propose to apply the balanced information potentials to the criterion of minimum Euclidian distance between two PDFs with constant modulus errors for adaptive blind equalizers. One of the two PDFs is constructed with constant modulus error samples and another does with Dirac delta functions. Two information potentials derived from the criterion are balanced in order to have better performance by putting a weighting factor to each information potentials. The proposed blind algorithm has shown in the MSE convergence performance that it can produce enhanced performance by over 3 dB of steady state MSE.

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.

디지털 통신 시스템에서 채널에서 발생되는 ISI(Inter-Symbol Interference)를 줄이기 위해 사용되는 적응 등화기의 알고리즘으로 MCMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm)가 있다. MCMA는 비교적 간단한 연산량을 갖지만 어느 정도 적당한 수렴율과 정상 상태의 MSE(mean square error)를 가지므로 본 논문에서는 이를 개선키 위해 병렬 구조를 갖는 등화 방식을 제안하며, MCMA(Modified Constant Modulus Algorithm)과 MDD(Modified Decision Directed Algorithm)으로 구성이 되어있다. 제안 방식에서는 4-QAM 좌표와 16-QAM 좌표의 관계를 이용한, 새로운 비용 함수를 정의 하고, 만약 수신된 신호에 오프셋이 발생할 때, MCMA의 성능이 저하되므로 이를 극복하기 위해서 본 논문에서는 MDD(Modified Decision Direct) 알고리즘과 결합한 병렬형 구조를 적용하므로서 기존의 MCMA보다 빠른 수렴 속도와 낮은 MSE를 갖는 개선된 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션으로 확인하였다.

This paper presents a detailed study focused on investigating the effects of silt content on the static and dynamic properties of sand-silt mixtures. Specimens with a low-plastic silt content of 0, 15, 30 and 50% by weight were tested in static triaxial, cyclic triaxial, and resonant columns in addition to consolidation tests to determine such parameters as compression index, internal friction angle, cohesion, cyclic stress ratio, maximum shear modulus, normalized shear modulus and damping ratio. The test procedures were performed on specimens of three cases: constant void ratio index, e = 0.582; same peak deviator stress of 290 kPa; and constant relative density, $D_r$ = 30%. The test results obtained for both the constant-void-ratio-index and constant-relative-density specimens showed that as silt content increased, the internal friction angle, cyclic stress ratio and maximum shear modulus decreased, but cohesion increased. In testing of the same deviator stress specimens, both cohesion and internal friction angle were insignificantly altered with the increase in silt content. In addition, as silt content increased, the maximum shear modulus increased. The cyclic stress ratio first decreased as silt content increased to reach the threshold silt content and increased thereafter with further increases in silt content. Furthermore, the damping ratio was investigated based on different silt contents in three types of specimens.
