Convergence and performance analysis of Godard family of blind equalization algorithms
نویسندگان
چکیده
We obtain the convergence of the Godard family (including SATO and CM algorithms) in a unified way. Our assumptions are quite realistic: the channel input can be asymptotically stationary and ergodic, the channel impulse response is finite and can be stationary, ergodic (this models fading channels) and the equalizer length is finite. The noise is i.i.d. The channel input can be discrete or continuous. Our approach allows us to approximate the whole trajectory of the equalizer coefficients. This provides estimates of the rate of convergence and the system performance (symbol error rate) can be evaluated under transience and steady state.

On the Convergence of Blind Channel Equalization
Baud-rate blind equalization algorithms may converge to undesirable stable equi-libria due to diierent reasons. One is the use of FIR lter as an equalizer. It is proved in this paper that this kind of local minima exist for all blind equalization algorithms. The local minima generated by this mechanism are thus called unavoidable local minima. The other one is due to the cost function adopted b...
متن کاملIll-convergence of Godard blind equalizers in data communication systems
Godard algorithms form an important class of adaptive blind channel equalization algorithms for QAM transmission. In this paper, the existence of stable undesirable equilibria for the Godard algorithms is demonstrated through a simple AR channel model. These undesirable equilibria correspond to local but nonglobal minima of the underlying mean cost function, and thus permit the ill-convergence ...
متن کاملA sign-error algorithm for blind equalization of real signals
The two criteria most commonly used in blind equalization are Sato's cost function and Godard's cost function. In this paper we analyze a sign-error cost function for real signals which gives an error term that can be viewed as the sign of either the Sato or the Godard error. We show that the conventional de nition of equalizer convergence is not suitable for analyzing this cost function. A mor...
متن کاملLength- and cost-dependent local minima of unconstrained blind channel equalizers
Baud-rate linear blind equalizers may converge to undesirable stable equilibria due to different mechanisms. One such mechanism is the use of linear FIR filters as equalizers. In this paper, it is shown that this type of local minima exist for all unconstrained blind equalizers whose cost functions satisfy two general conditions. The local minima generated by this mechanism are thus called leng...
متن کاملUndermodeled equalization: a characterization of stationary points for a family of blind criteria
We attack specific problems related to equalizer performance in undermodeled cases in which assumptions of perfect equalizability are dismissed in favor of a more realistic situation in which no equalizer setting may achieve perfect channel equalization. We derive a characterization of candidate convergent points for a family of blind criteria which appeal, tacitly or wittingly, to maximizing t...
