In this paper, we resolved a trade-off problem of the blind equalizer based on the stop-and-go algorithm that is commonly used for QAM demodulation in CATV receiver. The stop-and-go algorithm has used the LMS(least mean square) algorithm in the updating operation of tap weights so that the structure of equalizer is simple, but there is a trade-off between convergence speed and steady state error as in the typical LMS algorithm. We used the variable step size algrithm to improve the convergence speed with the steady state error in the constant level. With respect to the same level of the steady state error, the variable step size stop-and-go algortihm improved convergence speed by about $36%{\sim}56%$ as compared with that of the constant step size algortihm.

This paper describes a structure of adaptive equalizer to improve reception performance of ATSC digital television (DTV) for 8-VSB receivers. There are many strong and dynamic echoes affecting reliable reception of DTV signal. Conventional DFE based least mean square (LMS) algorithm is readily implemented and has good Performance. There are still problems to be solved, however, in handling strong echoes and indoor reception. In this paper, structure of adaptive equalizer to mitigate these Problems in strong multipath interference conditions and indoor reception environment is first presented. Methods to reduce error propagation effects on DFE and initialization scheme of filter coefficients for fast convergence are then introduced. Computer simulation results prove that an adaptive equalizer with proposed design methods can combat with Brazil Ensemble and the Threshold of Visibility(TOV) is improved.

CMA-DD is proposed to improve the steady-state performance of CMA and its performance is depending on switching time between two modes of operation. Castro et al. who proposed a concurrent equalizer for solving problem of CMA-DD, which reduced the sensibility of switching time. However, concurrent algorithm has a problem that it keeps working after convergence. In this paper, we propose concurrent MCMA-DD equalizer combined modified CMA(MCMA) and DD mode for making better concurrent algorithm. The proposed equalizer is better than previous algorithm in convergence speed and steady-state performance. Also, the proposed algorithm decides optimum switching time using residual ISI of the equalizer output.

This paper propose the VSS-FC-MMA algorithm that is possible to improve the equalization performance based on varying step size to the FC-MMA adaptive equalization algorithm in order to reducing the intersymbol interference effect occurred in the nonconstant modulus signal transmission, and improved performance were confirmed. The FC-MMA is possible to improve the convergence speed, and degrades the steady state performance based on the fixed step size and modified dispersion constant considering the level number of signal symbol for obtain the error signal in adaptive equalization compared to MMA. The proposed VSS-FC-MMA uses varying step size and current FC-MMA possible to improve the steady state equalization performance, it was confirmed by computer simulation. For this, the signal recovery capabilities and residual isi, MSE, SER were applied for performance comparison index in the same channel and signal to noise ratio. As a result of computer simulation, the proposed VSS-FC-MMA improve the risidual value in steady state and SER performance than the FC-MMA, but has 1.7 times slow convergence time by using varying step size.

In this paper, we propose th soft decision-directed sto-and-go algorithm combining a concept of the stop-and-go algorithm with soft decision-directed algorithm. The proposed algorithm has an enhanced equalization performance according to using the more confidential error signal than two algorithms. By computer simulation, it is confirmed that the proposed algorithm has the performance superiority in terms of residual ISI and convergence speed compared with the adaptive blind equalization algorithm of CMA, Modified CMA(MCMA), Stop-and Go algorithm and simplified 50ft decision-directed algorithm.

In this paper, the "Stop-and-GO" algorithm is applied to the PRS(Partial Response Signal) type signaling. Stop-and-GO blind equalizer has a property of stopping the adaptation of its tab coefficients by means of a simples flag telling the equalizer whether the current output error with respect to decided symbol is sufficiently reliable to be used. PRS has the rule os level transition, which makes it possible that the level of currently received symbol is in the adjacent levels of the previously received symbol. New nonlinear estimators for PRS, based on the rule of level transition, is proposed. The computer simulation results show the improvement in performance achievable with proposed nonlinear estimators.stimators.

In this dissertation, in the Turbo Code used for error correction coding of the recent digital communication systems, we propose a new S-R interleaver that has the better performance than the existing block interleaver, and the Turbo Decoder that has the parallel concatenated New structure using the MAP algorithm. For real-time voice and video services over the third generation mobile communications, the performance of two proposed methods is analyzed by the reduced decoding delay using the variable decoding method by computer simulation over multipath channels of DS-CDMA system. Also, a Modified NCMA based on conventional NCMA is proposed to improve the channel efficiency in the mobile communication system, and is investigated over the multi-user environment of DS-CDMA system through computer simulation.

This paper related with the performance of SE-MMA (Signed-Error MMA) that is the reduction of computational operation number in algorithm than MMA blind eualization algorithm which are possible to elimination of intersymbol interferance in the band limited and time dispersive nonlinear communication channel. In MMA algorithm which are possible to reduction of amplitude and phase rotation by intersymbol interference that is occurred in channel without using the training sequence, it uses the error signal that is the difference of the equalizer output and constant modulus, the statisticlly characteristic of transmitted signal. But in SE-MMA, it uses the polarity of the error signal, then it is possible to reduce the updating the tap coefficient and to simplify the H/W implementation. The computer simulation were performed in order to compare the performance of SE-MMA and conventional MMA algorithm. 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, SER were used. As a result of simulation, the SE-MMA has more fast convergence speed than the MMA. But in the other index after reaching the seady state, it gives more worst performance values in the used index.

Recently, some frequency domain CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) have been introduced in an effort to reduce computational complexities [1,2]. In [1], a fast algorithm that minimizing cost function designed for block input signal is employed, while in [2], a novel cost function that minimizing sample by sample input is used. Although, the two fast algorithm save computational complexities as compared to CMA, the convergence behaviors of the two fast algorithm show different results with repsect to CMA. Thus, in this paper, some analytical results on the error surface of the fast frequency domain CMA are introduced. From the analytical results, we show that the more recent algorithm [2] outperforms the previous algorithm [1]. Simulation results reveals that the recent algorithm [2] shows 50% enhanced convergence with respect to the old fast algorithm [1]. Also, we show that the recent fast algorithm [2] has comparable convergence performance with respect to conventional CMA algorithm.

Blind algorithms designed to maximize the probability that constant modulus errors become zero carry out some summation operations for a set of constant modulus errors at an iteration time inducing heavy complexity. For the purpose of reducing this computational burden induced from the summation, a new approach to the estimation of the zero-error probability (ZEP) of constant modulus errors (CME) and its gradient is proposed in this paper. The ZEP of CME at the next iteration time is shown to be calculated recursively based on the currently calculated ZEP of CME. It also is shown that the gradient for the weight update of the algorithm can be obtained by differentiating the ZEP of CME estimated recursively. From the simulation results that the proposed estimation method of ZEP-CME and its gradient produces exactly the same estimation results with a significantly reduced computational complexity as the block-processing method does.
