Training Adaptive Equalization With Blind Algorithms

A good performance on communication systems is obtained by decreasing the length of training sequence In the initial stage of adaptive equalization. This paper presents a new approach to accomplish this, with the use of a training adaptive equalizer. The approach is based on combining the training and tracking modes, in which the training equalizer is updated by the LMS algorithm with the training sequence and then updated by a blind algorithm. By computer simulations, it is shown that a class of the proposed equalizers provides better performance than the conventional training equalizer.
