A Blind Fractionally Spaced Equalizer Using Higher Order Statistics
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a new blind fractionally spaced equalizer based on the fourth-order statistics of the input symbol sequence. The input symbol sequence is assumed to come from an independent identically distributed finite alphabet with nonzero fourth-order cumulants. We formulate the equalizer as a column vector and compute it by simultaneously diagonalizing a set of matrices obtained from the fourth-order cross-cumulants of the input and output of the equalizer. Simulation results show that this equalizer works well with a short symbol sequence, even if the channel time span is not accurately estimated.

A Modified T/2 Fractionally Spaced Coordinate Transformation Blind Equalization Algorithm
When T/2 Fractionally Spaced blind Equalization Algorithm based Constant Modulus Algorithm (T/2-FSECMA) is employed for equalizing higher order Quadrature Amplitude Modulation signals (QAM), it has disadvantages of low convergence speed and large Mean Square Error (MSE). For overcoming these disadvantages, a Modified T/2 Fractionally Spaced blind Equalization algorithm based on Coordinate Trans...
متن کاملFractionally spaced blind equalization with low-complexity concurrent constant modulus algorithm and soft decision-directed scheme
The paper proposes a low-complexity concurrent constant modulus algorithm (CMA) and soft decisiondirected (SDD) scheme for fractionally spaced blind equalization of high-order quadrature amplitude modulation channels. We compare our proposed blind equalizer with the recently introduced state-of-art concurrent CMA and decision-directed (DD) scheme. The proposed CMA+SDD blind equalizer is shown t...
متن کاملBlind fractionally spaced equalization of noisy FIR channels: direct and adaptive solutions
Blind fractionally spaced equalizers reduce intersymbol interference using second-order statistics without the need for training sequences. Methods for finding FIR zero-forcing blind equalizers directly from the observations are described, and adaptive versions are developed. In contrast, most current methods require channel estimation as a first step to estimating the equalizer. The direct met...
متن کاملCMA Fractionally Spaced Equalizers: Stationary Points and Stability under IID and Temporally Correlated Sources
A common assumption in blind equalization schemes using the Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) is that the source sequence is an independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) sequence with equiprobable symbols. Much of the analysis demonstrating the global convergence of CMA in a noiseless channel to an open-eye setting uses this assumption. This work investigates the effect of source statistics (...
متن کاملIncreasing Convergence Rate of a Fractionally-Spaced Channel Equalizer
In this paper a technique for increasing the convergence rate of fractionally spaced channel equalizer is proposed. Instead of symbol-spaced updating of the equalizer filter, a mechanism has been devised to update the filter at a higher rate. This ensures convergence of the equalizer filter at a higher rate and therefore less time-consuming. The proposed technique has been simulated and tested ...
