This paper describes an equalizer using the DFE (Decision Feedback Equalizer) structure, CMA (Constant Modulus Algorithm) and LMS (Least Mean Square) algorithms. The DFE structure has better channel adaptive performance and lower BER than the transversal structure. The proposed equalizer can be used for 16/64 QAM modems. We employ high speed multipliers, square logics and many CSAs (Carry Save Adder) for high speed operations. We have developed floating-point models and fixed-point models using the COSSAP$\^$TM/ CAD tool and developed VHDL filter. The proposed equalizer shows low BER in multipath fading channel. We have performed models. From the simulation results, we employ a 12 tap feedback filter and a 8 tap feedforward logic synthesis using the SYNOPSYS$\^$TM/ CAD tool and the SAMSUNG 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ standard cell library (STD80) and verified function and timing simulations. The total number of gates is about 130,000.

Adaptive channel equlization accomplished without resorting to a training sequence is known as blind equalization. In this paper, in order to reduce the speed of the convergence and the steady-state mean squared error simultaneously, we propose the multi-stage RD(radius-directed) algorithm derived from the combination of the constant modulus algorithm and the radius-directed algorithm. In the starting stage, multi-stage RD algorithm are identical to the constant modulus algorithm which guarantees the convergence of the equalizer. As the blind identical to the constant modulus algorithm which guarantees the convergence of the equalizer. As the blind equalizer converges, the number of the level of the quantizers is increased gradually, so that the proposed algorithm operate identical to the radius-directed algorithm which leads to the low error power after the covnergence. Therefore, the multi-stage RD algorithm obtains fast convergence rage and low steady stage mean square error.

The CMA and MMA blind equalization algorithm has the inevitable large residual error caused by mismatching between the symbol constellation at a steady state after convergence. Stop-and-Go algorithm has a very superior residual error characteristics at a steady state but a relatively slow convergence characteristics. In this paper, we propose a SAG-Flagged MMA as a new adaptive blind equalization algorithm with a Stop-and-Go flag which follows a flagged MMA in update scheme of tap weights as appling the flag obtaining from Stop-and-Go algorithm to MMA. Using computer simulation, it is confirmed that the proposed algorithm has an enhancing performance from the viewpoint of residual ISI, residual error and convergence speed in comparison with MMA and Stop-and-Go algorithm. Algorithm has a new error function using the decided original constellation instead of the reduced constellation. 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 family, Constant Modulus Algorithm with Carrier Phase Recovery and Modified CMA(MCMA).

Blind equalizers recover the transmitted data using signal's statistical characteristics only. Because of its computational simplicity and fast convergence rate, CMA is widely used in practice. Blind equalizers, however, converge much slowly than conventional equalizers which use the training signals. In order to improve the convergence rate, many modified blind equalization algorithms have been proposed. Among those, Normalized CMA (NCMA) was applied to increase the convergence rate by using the large step size. Unfortunately it can only be applied for the constant modulus signal constellation scheme. this paper, we propose the Selective NCMA (SNCMA) that improve the convergence rate of blind equalization algorithms by using NCMA for non-constant modulus signalling method such as QAM constellation. We achieved fast start-up convergence rate and reduced steady-state residual error.

시변 페이딩 채널환경에서 DS-CDMA 다중 사용자 환경의 이동통신 시스템에서 채널의 효율을 높이기 위해 학습 신호열을 사용하지 않는 새로운 블라인드 등화 기법을 제안한다. 블라인드 등화 기법 중에서 가장 성능이 좋은 CMA(Constant Modulus Algorithm)는 가변하는 페이딩 채널환경에서 채널등화에 효과적이지 못하다. 따라서 Kalman 필터와 CMA를 결합한 새로운 등화 기법은 자승 오차와 Eye-Pattern의 성능 비교를 통해 기존의 방법 보다 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presentsthe performance study of blind equalizer algorithms for impulsive-noise environments based on Gaussian kernel and constant modulus error(CME). Constant modulus algorithm(CMA) based on CME and mean squared error(MSE) criterion fails in impulsive noise environment. Correntropy blind method recently introduced for impulsive-noise resistance has shown in PAM system not very satisfying results. It is revealed in theoretical and simulation analysis that the maximization of zero-error probability based on CME(MZEP-CME) originally proposed for Gaussian noise environments produces superior performance in impulsive noise channels as well. Gaussian kernel of MZEP-CME has a strong effect of becoming insensitive to the large differences between the power of impulse-infected outputs and the constant modulus value.

In this article, we proposed a new interference canceller using the adaptive algorithm. We designed constant modulus algorithm-correlation normailized least mean square (CMA-CNLMS) for wireless system. This structure is normalized LMS algorithm using correlation between the desired and input signal for cancelling the interference signals in the wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) system. We showed that the proposed algorithm could improve the Mean Square Error (MSE) performance of LMS algorithm. MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) is employed to analyze the proposed algorithm and to compare it with the experimental results. The MSE value of the LMS with mu=0.0001 was measured as - 12.5 dB, and that of the proposed algorithm was -19.5 dB which showed an improvement of 7dB.

We propose a robust blind equalization algorithm based on quadrant-partitioned constellations for QAM demodulation. The algorithm divides the received M-QAM constellations into simple four quadrant. The channel equalization for symbols in each quadrant can be accomplished fast and reliably using the Constant Modulus Algorithm(CMA) and the Stop-and-Go Algorithm(SGA). Test results confirm that the proposed algorithm with lower complexity outperforms both the CMA and the SGA in reducing the SER as well as the MSE at the equalizer output.

DS-CDMA (direct sequence-code division multiple access) 시스템에서 여러 사용자가 동일 주파수 대역을 공유함으로써 다중 접속 간섭 (multiple access interference; MAI)이 발생하고 시스템의 성능을 크게 제한한다. 이러한 다중 접속 간섭을 제거하여 전송 신호의 질을 높이고 용량을 증대시키는 중요한 신호 처리 기술 가운데 하나가 적응 간섭 억제 기술이다. 적응 간섭 억제 기술 가운데 CMA (constant modulus algorithm) 기반의 블라인드 적응 간섭 억제기는 훈련수열을 필요로 하지 않고 빠른 수렴을 통하여 간섭을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있으나, 다중 경로 환경에서 심벌간 간섭 (intersymbol interference; ISI)이 증대되어 기존의 적응 수신기보다 악화된 성능을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 CMA를 기반으로 훈련 수열 없이 빠른 수렴을 하며 MAI와 ISI를 효과적으로 제거하기 위한 다이버시티 결합기 구조의 적응 간섭 억제기를 제한한다. 다중 경로 페이딩 채널 환경에서 기존의 블라인드 적응간섭 억제기와의 성능 비교 결과, 제안된 방식이 다중경로에 의한 ISI의 영향을 효과적으로 제거하여 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.
