In this paper, the minimum mean square error(MSE) convergence of the RBF equalizer is evaluated and compared with the linear equalizer based on the theoretical minimum MSE. The basic idea of comparing these two equalizers comes from the fact that the relationship between the hidden and output layers in the RBF equalizer is also linear. As extensive studies of this research, various channel models are selected, which include linearly separable channel, slightly distorted channel, and severely distorted channel models. In this work, the theoretical minimum MSE for both RBF and linear equalizers were computed, compared and the sensitivity of minimum MSE due to RBF center spreads was analyzed. It was found that RBF based equalizer always produced lower minimum MSE than linear equalizer, and that the minimum MSE value of RBF equalizer was obtained with the center spread which is relatively higher(approximately 2 to 10 times more) than variance of AWGN. This work provides an analytical framework for the practical training of RBF equalizer system.

ISI is caused by delay spread in the multipath channel environment. There are two kinds of channel equalizer: Linear and Non-Linear type according to the structures. In this paper, we propose an improved adaptive linear equalizer to mitigate ISI. The proposed adaptive equalizer is constructed by using asymmetrical Dsmvenu filter based on USE sub-optimal receiver. Asymmetrical structure of the transversal filter is realized by moving the main tap position from center to side. If this structure is used, we can divide ISI to precusor and postcusor. As a result the proposed equalizer has a larger extended compensation range than conventional adaptive linear equalizer. In computer simulation, we compare the bit error rate performance of the proposed linear equalizer with the conventional one on the S-V channel which is modeled for WB systems.

The linear and decision-feedback equalization can mitigate time-varying intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by time-varying multipath propagation for underwater acoustic channels. The perfect elimination of interference components, however, is difficult using the linear equalization and the decision feedback equalizer has an error propagation problem. To overcome these shortcomings, this paper proposes an equalizer mode selection method using training sequences. The proposed method selects an equalization mode corresponding to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). If the SNR is low, the proposed system operates the linear equalizer for preventing the error propagation and if the SNR is high, the decision feedback equalizer for eliminating the residual ISI. Therefore, the proposed method can improve the error performance compared to the conventional equalizers. The computer simulation shows the proposed method improves the bit error performance using practical underwater channels responses acquired from the sea experiment.

We designed and implemented (3.3) tap Decision Feedback Equalizer using Zero Forcing algorithm for 64 QAM RF MODEM (155Mbps) in SDH STM-1, Before we designed DFE, simulate 11 tap linear equalizer and (3.3) tap DFE. Then we get results that performance of DFE is better than linear equalizer by 5dB in fading. Practically, implemented DFE have good performance equalizing signal in 20dB fading depth.

This study extends the modified linear feedback equalizer (MLFE), normally used for differentially coherent DPSK systems, to the equalization of double differentially coherent PSK (DDPSK) signals. By feeding back into the feedback part after modifying the equalizer output using decision feedback-based demodulation, the proposed equalizer can operate like an equalizer with a decision feedback structure. Simulation results showthat performances of the decision feedback demodulation-based feedback equalizer (DFD-FE) approach those of the DFE/coherent.

In the devices used in the microwave frequency band, the gain decreases as the frequency increases due to the parasitic component. To compensate for these characteristics, a linear gain equalizer with an opposite slope is needed in wideband systems, such as those used for electronic warfare. In this study, a linear gain equalizer that can be used in the 18 ~ 40GHz band is designed and fabricated. Circuit design and momentum design (optimizations) were carried out to reduce the errors between design and manufacturing. A thin film process is used to minimize the parasitic components within the implementation frequency band. A sheet resistance of 100 ohm/square was employed to minimize the wavelength variation due to the length of the thin film resistor. This linear gain equalizer is a structure that combines a quarter wavelength-resonator on a series microstrip line with a resistor. All three 1/4 wavelength short resonators were used. The fabricated linear gain equalizer has a loss of more than -5dB at 40GHz and a 6dB slope in the 18 ~ 40GHz band. By using the manufactured gain equalizer in a multi-stage connected device such as an electronic warfare receiver, the gain flatness degradation with increasing frequency can be reduced.

This paper presents a linear amplitude equalizer developed to secure the linearity of the slope of the amplitude over the frequency band ranging $2\sim18\;GHz$. The circuit model is featured by the resistor placed between each pair of a transmission-line and a stub. The design includes finding the values of resistors and stubs to have the optimal linear slope and return loss performances. The measured data show the acceptable performances of the slope variation and return loss over $2\sim18\;GHz$.

Optimal methods for designing multiplierless minimal complexity FIR filters with cascaded prefilter-equalizer structures are proposed for narrowband communication systems. Assuming that an FIR filter consists of a cyclotomic polynomial(CP) prefilter and an interpolated second order polynomial(ISOP) equalizer, in the proposed method the prefilter and equalizer are simultaneously designed using mixed integer linear programming(MILP). The resulting filter is a cascaded filter with minimal complexity. Design examples demonstrate that the proposed methods produce a more computationally efficient cascaded prefilter-equalizer than other existing filters.

Optimal methods for designing multiplierless IIR filters with cascaded prefilter-equalizer structures are proposed for narrowband applications. Assuming that an U filter consists of a cyclotomic Polynomial (CP) prefilter and an all-Pole equalizer based on interpolated first order polynomial (IFOP), in the proposed method the prefilter and equalizer are simultaneously designed using mixed integer linear programming (MILP). The resulting filter is a cascaded filter with minimal complexity. In addition, MtP tries to minimize both computational complexity and phase response non-linearity. Design examples demonstrate that the proposed methods produce a more efficient cascaded prefilter-equalizer than existing methods.
