In this paper, we propose a new SO-MLSE(soft-output maximum likelihood sequence estimation) equalizer, which can be used in GSM digital cellular system) it uses complex correlation of training sequence to obtain the channel information and the equalization is performed by MLSE using Viterbi algorithm. In order to generate a soft-decision input to channel decoder (Viterbi decoder), the soft-output equalization algorithm is needed. The adopted algorithm doesn't require to modify the structure of HO-MLSE(hard output MLSE) equalizer, that is, SO-MLSE equalizer can be implemented by adding soft-output generation block to HO-MLSE equalizer. This algorithm uses the outputs of matched filter and HO-MLSE equalizer. It turns out that the complexity of proposed SO-MLSE equalizer is simpler than those of other SO-MLSE equalizer and its perforance is almost the same as those of others. Finally, the proposed SO-MLSE equalizer is also implemented s a prototype with ADSP-2101 16-bits fixed point digital signal processing chip.

IEEE 802.11a is a standard for the high-speed wireless local area network (WLAN), supporting from 6 up to 54 Mbps in a 5 GHz band. We propose a channel equalization algerian and a sampling clock recovery algorithm by utilizing the Viterbi decoder output of the IEEE 802.11a WLAN standard. The proposed channel equalizer adaptively compensates channel variations. The proposed system uses re-encoded Viterbi decoder outputs as reference symbols for the adaptation of the channel equalizer. It also extracts sampling phase information with the Viterbi decoder outputs for fine adjustment of the sampling clock. The proposed sampling clock recovery and equalizer are more robust to noise and frequency selective fading environments than conventional systems using only four pilot samples.

This paper is concerned with the implementation of the equalization technique in a DCS 1800 system employing the soft-decision output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA), which makes the hardware complexity comparable to the hard decision MLSE and gives reliable performance. Also, the channel estimation technique with enhances the perfdormance of the soft-decision output equalizer is proposed, and the Viterbi decoder which operates effectively with the soft-decision output of the qualizer is implemented using the Very High Speed ICs Hardware Description Language (VHDL). From the simulation results, it is shown that the implemented Viterbi decoder operates effectively and the SOVA outperforms the hard-decision MLSE in terms of the frame erasure rate (FER) and bit error rate (BER).

In this paper, we analyzed efficient decoding scheme with FTN (Faster than Nyquist) method that is transmission method faster than Nyquist theory and increase the throughput. we proposed viterbi equalizer model to minimize ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference) when FTN signal is transmitted. the proposed model utilized interference as branch information. In this paper, to decode FTN singal, we used turbo equalization algorithms that iteratively exchange probabilistic information between soft Viterbi equalizer (BCJR method) and LDPC decoder. By changing the trellis diagram in order to maximize Euclidean distance, we confirmed that performance was improved compared to conventional methods as increasing throughput of FTN signal.

Recently, digital communication system becomes high speed, as communication demand dose not only increases sharply, but an image, voice various kinds data also comes multimedia. In transmitting data at a high speed, the main problem is fading by multipath. A linear or nonlinear distortion arise In multipath channel fading from ISI(Intersymbol Interference). For restoring this distorted signal, A lot of equalizer and adaptive algorithm is introduced. This paper compares and analysises, for improving communication quality in channel which is long delay spread, performance of decision feedback equalizer by RLS algorithm, a channel estimation by RLS-MLSE and viterbi equalizer Particularly, there Is exactly channel estimation of impluse response and excellent property of equalization about channel, which delay spread is long impluse response comparatively and is property of non-minimun phase.

In this paper, we propose an improved partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) detection scheme that has an adaptive equalizer and can be applied in the asymmetric optical recording system with high-density. We confirmed that the proposed PRML detector improves detection performance. In addition, we implemented the detector by Verilog HDL. The adaptive equalizer is composed of tap coefficient updating unit using LMS algorithn and FIR filter. FIR filter is implemented by the transposed direct form architecture for high speed operation. Viterbi detector is implemented by the register exchange method.

This paper proposes a hardware/software codesign of the MLSE equalizer for GSM.GPRS systems. We analyze algorithms of the MLSE equalizer which consists of a channel estimator using the correlation method and the Viterbi processor. We estimate the computational complexity requirement based on the simulation of TI TMS320C5x DSP. We also estimate the gate count from the results of logic synthesis using the samsung 0.5㎛ standard cell library (STD80). Based on the results of the complexity estimation and gate count, we propose the efficient software/hardware codesign of the MLSE equalizer based on the results of the complexity estimation and gate count.

This paper introduces adaptive PRML (Partial Response Maximum Likelihood) architecture with PR (a,b,c,d,e) channel type for the improved readability of high-density optical discs with capacity greater than 30GB. The proposed PRML architecture consists of an adaptive equalizer, a Viterbi detector and a channel identifier. Detailed description for each component is included. The architecture is implemented in chip and also confirmed its performance on the test board mounting the chip. Test results show that the proposed 5-tap PRML architecture is well operated, and less than $2{\times}10^{-4}$ of BER (Bit Error Rate) is achieved with radial and tangential tilt margin of ${\pm}0.6^{\circ}$ on self-made 30GB BD at 1x speed.

In this paper, the equalization for frequency slope of path loss in Multi-Band(MB) OFDM UWB is proposed. The path loss of a signal is proportionate to the square of the signal's frequency. So, the received signal amplitudes of OFDM subcarrier can be different up to 3dB when MB-OFDM occupies bandwidth over 1.5GHz. The differences of subcarrier-amplitudes make an effective of 0.3 bit reduction of soft decision bits of viterbi decoder, and when the effective of 0.3 bit reduction can cause 0.5dB SNR degradation. This paper proposes two modem architectures which compensate for the degraded subcarrier by multiplying the reciprocal of degraded values in analog or digital domain. It is shown that, for the proposed architecture applied to MB-OFDM UWB, the performance improvements up to 0.5dB can be obtained over the conventional uncompensated receiver architecture.
