Abstract

This paper related with the VSS_SE-MMA (Varying Step Size_Signed Error-MMA) which possible to improving the equalization performance that employing the varying adaptive step size based on the nonlinearities of error signal of SE-MMA (Signed Error-MMA), compensates the intersymbol interference by distortion occurs at the communication channel, in the transmitting the spectral efficient nonconstant modulus signal such as 16-QAM. The SE-MMA appeared to the reducing the computational arithematic operation using the polarity of error signal in the updating the tap coefficient of present MMA adaptive equalizer, but have a problem of equalization performance degradation. The VSS_SE-MMA improves the problem of such SE-MMA, using the varying step size consider the error signal in the update the adaptive equalizer tap coefficient, and its improved performance were confirmed by simulation. For this, the output signal constellation of equalizer, the residual isi and maximum distortion, MSE and SER were applied. As a result of computer simulation, it was confirmed that the VSS_SE-MMA algorithm has nearly same in convergence speed and has more good performance in every performance index at the steady state.

본 논문은 16-QAM과 같은 스펙트럼 효율적인 nonconstant modulus 신호 전송에서 채널에서 발생되는 찌그러짐에 의한 부호간 간섭을 보상하기 위한 SE-MMA (Signed Error-Multiple Modulus Algorithm) 블라인드 적응등화 알고리즘에서 오차 신호의 비선형성을 이용한 가변 적응 스텝 크기를 적용하여 등화 성능을 개선할 수 있는 VSS_SE-MMA (Varying Step Size_SE-MMA)에 관한 것이다. SE-MMA는 기존 MMA 적응 등화기의 탭 계수 갱신시 오차 신호의 극성만을 이용하므로서 연산량을 줄이기 위하여 등장하였으나 이로 인한 등화 성능이 열화되는 문제점이 있다. VSS_SE-MMA에서는 이와 같은 SE-MMA의 문제점을 개선하기 위해 오차 신호를 고려한 스텝의 크기를 변화시켜 적응 등화기의 탭 계수 갱신에 이용하므로서 이의 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다. 이의 개선된 성능을 확인하기 위하여 등화기 출력 성상도, 잔류 isi, 최대 찌그러짐과 MSE, 채널의 신호대 잡음비에 따른 SER을 적용하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 VSS_SE-MMA 알고리즘이 SE-MMA보다 수렴 속도에서 거의 비슷하면서도 정상 상태에서 모든 성능 지수에서 개선됨을 확인하였다.
