Abstract:
Wireless channel identification and equalization is one of the most challenging tasks because broadcast channels are often subject to frequency selective, time varying fading and there are several bandwidth limitations. Furthermore, each receiver channel has vastly different types of channel characteristics and signals to noise ratio. Here in this paper we consider channel equalization and estimation problem from trans-receiver perspective, specifically we try to estimate blind equalization schemes particularly using constant modulus Algorithm (CMA). We try to estimate a linear channel model driven by a QAM source and adapt a FSE (T/2) using CMA. It has been shown CMA-FSE successfully reduces the cluster variance so that transfer to a decision directed mode is possible and simultaneously error is reduced.
