Abstract

Turbo equalization is applied to microwave channel in this paper, and we bring forward an improved Turbo equalization algorithm named Max-Log-Map. A simulation based on a given microwave fading channel has been made. The results show that performances are close to each other between improved TE-Max-Log-Map and Log-Map, and the coding gain is 1 dB at 10^-4 of BER compared with Max-Log- Map. The improved Max-Log-Map method improves the reliability of microwave communication.
