This paper related with the DSE-MMA (Dithered Sign-Error MMA) that is the simplification of computational arithmetic number in blind equalization algorithm in order to compensates the intersymbol interference which occurs the passing the nonlinear communication channel in the presence of the band limit and phase distortion. The SE-MMA algorithm has a merit of H/W implementation for the possible to reduction of computational arithmetic number using the 1 bit quantizer in stead of multiplication in the updating the equalizer tap weight. But it degradates the overall blind equalization algorithm performance by the information loss at the quantization process compare to the MMA. The DSE-MMA which implements the dithered signed-error concepts by using the dither signal before qualtization are added to MMA, then the improved SNR performance which represents the roburstness of equalization algorithm are obtained. It has a concurrently compensation capability of the amplitude and phase distortion due to intersymbol interference like as the SE-MMA and MMA algorithm. The paper uses the equalizer output signal, residual isi, MD, MSE learning curve and SER curve for the performance index of blind equalization algorithm, and the computer simulation were performed in order to compare the SE-MMA and DSE-MMA applying the same performance index. As a result of simulation, the DSE-MMA can improving the roburstness and the value of every performance index after steady state than the SE-MMA, and confirmed that the DSE-MMA has slow convergence speed which meaning the reaching the seady state from initial state of adaptive equalization filter.

For blind channel equalization, the reliability of signal estimate determines the convergence speed and steady-state performance of the equalizer. Therefore the nonlinear estimator and reference signal being used in signal estimate should be chosen appropriately. In this paper, to increase the reliability of the signal estimate, two errors were obtained by applying coarse signal points and dense signal points respectively to signal estimate, the relative reliabilities of two errors were calculated, then the equalizer was adapted deferentially utilizing the reliabilities. At this point, by applying two errors alternately, two modes of operation were smoothly combined. Through computer simulations the proposed method was confirmed to achieve fast transient state convergence and low steady-state error compared to traditional methods.

In this paper, we propose a blind equalization algorithm based on the error signal linearly combined a constellation-matched error (CME) and a non-constellation-matched error (non-CME). The new error signal was designed to include the non-CME term for reaching initial convergence and the CME term for improving intersymbol interference (ISI) performance of output signals, and it controls the error terms through a combining factor. By controlling the error terms, it generates an appropriate error signal for equalization process and improves convergence speed and ISI cancellation performance compared to those of conventional algorithms. In the simulation for 64-QAM and 256-QAM signals under the multipath channel and additive noise conditions, the proposed method was superior to CMA and CMA+DD concurrent equalization.

For blind equalization, we propose a method of updating an equalizer, which generates an error from selectively applying a transmitted symbol constellation and that of induced equivalently from the transmitted symbol constellation and updates the equalizer by using this error. The proposed method, by selectively using the symbol constellation effective for improvement of symbol estimation accuracy and that of effective for improvement of error performance, showed that it is possible to improve the error performance at the same time to open the eye diagram of equalizer output quickly. As a criterion applying the symbol constellation, we used the dispersion of symbol points of equalizer output. In addition, to increase the accuracy of updating an equalizer the error was controlled by using current and previous dispersions. By simulation, under multipath channel with additive noise, we verified the equalization performance of the proposed method for 64-QAM.

This paper proposes the improving the equalization performance using the adaptive modulus concept to the MCMA blind equalizer in order to the reduction of intersymbol interference which occurs in the band limited and time dispersive communication channel. In MCMA blind algorithm, it is possible to reducing the amplitude and phase rotation of intersymbol interference without training sequence, the fixed constant modulus of transmission signal is used. But in proposed algorithm, the modulus are adaptively varies according to the equalizer output signal, then the improved equalization performance were obtained by the computer simulation. For this, the recovered signal constellation that is the output of the equalizer, the convergence performance by MSE, MD (maximum distortion) and residual isi characteristic learning curve were used. The propose algorithm has fairly good performance compared to the traditional MCMA algorithm in the same adaptive equalization algorithm.
