Abstract

For effective updating a blind equalizer, we propose the adaptive algorithm having faster convergence speed required for initial equalization and satisfying low error level required in steady-state while having a gradual and reversible switching characteristics between initial stage and steady-state. The proposed method presents three criteria to distinguish the state of equalized signal, according to the criteria, differently updates the equalizer by using the hybrid error generation algorithm generating one of the three errors. Wherein as the criteria to determine the state of the equalized signal the confidence intervals on the signal constellation are used, an error is generated alternatively according to the confidence interval where equalizer output lies, and the equalizer is updated by, we got convergence quickly and to lower error level. In order to verify the usefulness of the proposed idea, simulation results were compared to the performance of conventional methods.

효과적인 블라인드 등화기 갱신을 위해, 등화 초기에 요구되는 빠른 수렴 속도와 정상상태에서 요구되는 낮은 오차 레벨을 만족하면서, 또한 등화 초기와 정상상태 간의 완만하면서도 가역적인 전환 특성을 가지는 적응 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 방법에서는 신호의 등화 상태를 구분하는 세 기준을 제시하고, 이 기준에 따라 세 오차 중 하나를 발생시키는 하이브리드 오차발생 알고리즘을 사용하여 등화기를 차등적으로 갱신한다. 이때 신호의 등화 상태를 판단하는 기준으로 신호 성상도 상의 신뢰구간을 이용하였으며, 등화기 출력이 놓이는 신뢰구간에 따라 오차를 다르게 발생시켜 등화기를 갱신함으로써 빠르게 그리고 낮은 오차 레벨에 수렴할 수 있음을 보였다. 제안 아이디어의 유용성을 검증하기 위해 모의실험을 통해 기존 방법의 성능과 비교하였다.
