This paper investigates a RBF(Radial Basis Function) equalizer for channel equalization. RBF network has an identical structure to the optimal Bayesian symbol-decision equalizer solution. Therefore RBF can be employed to implement the Bayesian equalizer. Proposed algorithm of this paper makes channel states estimation to be unncessary, also makes center number which is needed indivisual channel to be minimum. Bayesian Equalizer has the theorical optimum performance. Proposed Equalizer performance is compared with this Baysian equalizer performance.

Recently, a considerable amount of attention is being given to the use of wavelets and neural network for modulation and equalization. We proposed a new scheme of equalization for constellation using discrete wavelet transform(DWT) and neural network. The DWT is used for noise reduction and the neural network is used to update the equalizer coefficients adaptively.

This paper presents decision feedback equalizers using a recurrent neural network trained algorithm using extended Kalman filter(EKF) and sigma-point Kalman filter(SPKF). EKF is propagated, analytically through the first-order linearization of the nonlinear system. This can introduce large errors in the true posterior mean and covariance of the Gaussian random variable. The SPKF addresses this problem by using a deterministic sampling approach. The features of the proposed recurrent neural equalizer And we investigate the bit error rate(BER) between EKF and SPKF.

In this paper, the minimum mean square error(MSE) convergence of the RBF equalizer is evaluated and compared with the linear equalizer based on the theoretical minimum MSE. The basic idea of comparing these two equalizers comes from the fact that the relationship between the hidden and output layers in the RBF equalizer is also linear. As extensive studies of this research, various channel models are selected, which include linearly separable channel, slightly distorted channel, and severely distorted channel models. In this work, the theoretical minimum MSE for both RBF and linear equalizers were computed, compared and the sensitivity of minimum MSE due to RBF center spreads was analyzed. It was found that RBF based equalizer always produced lower minimum MSE than linear equalizer, and that the minimum MSE value of RBF equalizer was obtained with the center spread which is relatively higher(approximately 2 to 10 times more) than variance of AWGN. This work provides an analytical framework for the practical training of RBF equalizer system.

In this paper, a decision feedback recurrent neural equalization (DFRNE) scheme is proposed for adaptive equalization problems. The proposed equalizer models a nonlinear infinite impulse response (IIR) filter. The modified Real-Time recurrent Learning Algorithm (RTRL) is used to train the DFRNE. The DFRNE is applied to both linear channels with only intersymbol interference and nonlinear channels for digital video cassette recording (DVCR) system. And the performance of the DFRNE is compared to those of the conventional equalizaion schemes, such as a linear equalizer, a decision feedback equalizer, and neural equalizers based on multi-layer perceptron (MLP), in view of both bit error rate performance and mean squared error (MSE) convergence. It is shown that the DFRNE with a reasonable size not only gives improvement of compensating for the channel introduced distortions, but also makes the MSE converge fast and stable.

Recently, various recording technologies are studied for optical data storage. After standardization of BD (Blu-ray Disc) and HD-DVD (High-Definition Digital Versatile Disc), the industry is looking for a suitable technology for next generation optical data storage. Super-RENS (Super-Resolution Near Field Structure) technique, which is capable of compatibility with other systems, is one of next optical data storage. In this paper, we proposed a neural network-based nonlinear equalizer (NNEQ) for Super-RENS discs. To mitigate the nonlinear ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference), we applied NARX (Nonlinear AutoRegressive eXogenous) which is a kind of neural networks. Its validity is tested with the RF signal samples obtained from a Super-RENS disc. The performance of the proposed equalizer is superior to the one without equalization and that of the Limit-EQ in terms of BER (Bit Error Rate).

In this paper, an equalizer(RNE) using nonlinear multilayer combining techniques in Bayesian equalizer with a structure of radial basis function network is proposed in order to simplify the structure and enhance the performance of the equalizer(RE) using a radial basis function network. The conventional RE Produces its output using linear combining the outputs of the basis functions in the hidden layer while the proposed RNE produces its output using nonlinear combining the outputs of the basis function in the first hidden layer. The nonlinear combiner is implemented by multilayer perceptrons(MLPs). In addition, as an infinite impulse response structure, the RNE with decision feedback equalizer (RNDFE) is proposed. The proposed equalizer has simpler structure and shows better performance than the conventional RE in terms of bit error probability and mean square error.

Recurrent neural networks have been successfully applied to communications channel equalization. Major disadvantages of gradient-based learning algorithms commonly employed to train recurrent neural networks are slow convergence rates and long training sequences required for satisfactory performance. In a high-speed communications system, fast convergence speed and short training symbols are essential. We propose decision feedback equalizers using a recurrent neural network trained with Kalman filtering algorithms. The main features of the proposed recurrent neural equalizers, utilizing extended Kalman filter (EKF) and unscented Kalman filter (UKF), are fast convergence rates and good performance using relatively short training symbols. Experimental results for two time-varying channels are presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed approaches over a conventional recurrent neural equalizer.

In this paper, fuzzy-ARTMAP equalizer is developed mainly for overcoming the obstacles, such as complexity and long training, in implementing the previously developed neural-basis equalizers. The proposed fuzzy-ARTMAP equalizer is fast and easy to train and includes capabilities not found in other neural network approaches a small number of parameters, no requirements for the choice of initial weights, no risk of getting trapped in local minima, and capability of adding new data without retraining previously trained data. In simulation studies, binary signals were generated at random from linear channel with Gaussian noise. The performance of the proposed equalizer is compared with other neural net basis equalizers, such as MLP and RBF equalizers. The fuzzy ARTMAP equalizer combines relatively simple structure and fast processing speed; it gives accurate results for nonlinear problems that cannot be solved with a linear equalizer.

In this study, we proposed pathological pattern detection system for X-ray chest image using artificial neural network. In a physical examination, radiologists have checked on the chest image projected the view box by a magnifying glass and found out what the disease is. Here, the detection of X-ray fluoroscopy is tedious and time-consuming for human doing. Lowering of efficiency for chest diagnosis is caused by lots mistakes of radiologist because of detecting the micro pathology from the film of small size. So, we proposed the method for disease detection using artificial neural network and digital image processing on a X-ray chest image. This method composes the function of image sampling, median filter, image equalizer used neural network and pattern recognition used neural network. We confirm this method has improved the problem of a conventional method.
