It is well known that Intersymbol (ISI) Interference is a limiting factor in many communication environments where it causes an irreducible degradation of the bit error rate (BER) thus imposing an upper limit on the data symbol rate. In order to overcome the ISI problem, an equalizer is implemented in those systems. Among the three types of equalizers - non-blind, semi-blind and blind - the blind equalizer has the benefit of bandwidth saving and there is no need of going through a training phase. Blind equalization algorithms are essentially adaptive filtering algorithms designed such that they do not require the external supply of a desired response to generate the error signal in the output of the adaptive equalization filter. the algorithms generate an estimate of the desired response by applying a nonlinear transformation to sequences involved in the adaptation process. This nonlinearity is designed to minimize a cost function that is implicitly based on higher order statistics (HOS) according to one approach, or calculated directly according to the Bayes rules. The Whole Story behind Blind Adaptive Equalizers/ Blind Deconvolution gives the readers a full understanding on the blind deconvolution. the e-book covers a variety of blind deconvolution/equalization methods based on both cost functions and Bayes rules where simulation results are supplied to support the theory. These include the Maximum Entropy density approximation technique and the Edgeworth Expansion approach used in various blind equalizers. It also describes the relationship between the cost function approach and the approach taken according to Bayes rules. the e-book deals also with the effect of various system parameters (such as the step-size parameter or the equalizer's tap length) have on the obtained equalization performance. This e-book will be of particular interest to advanced communications engineering undergraduate students, graduate students, university instructors and signal processing researchers.

Presents results of studies to improve the performance of a previously developed joint blind synchronization algorithm for phase shift keying and quadrature amplitude modulated signals using digital signal processing based approaches. In this context, blind implies that no a-priori information is known about the signal or its structure other than the symbol rate and the modulation type. The blind synchronization technique exploits the self-coherency of the received sampled data using a nearest neighbour type of search method whose objective is to minimize a certain cost function. The report describes two improvements made to the algorithm: lifting of a previous restriction of an integer relationship between the baud rate and the sampling rate of the analog to digital converter in the receiver, and a coarse two-dimensional search implemented to provide the original search strategy with initial starting points. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the performance improvements achieved.

Describes development of an algorithm for synchronization to phase shift keying and quadrature amplitude modulated signals for which little a-priori information is known, in the presence of timing and carrier frequency offsets. Some simplifications of the synchronization problem have been made so that this algorithm could be characterized independently of several variables. The algorithm is based on minimizing an objective function which is sensitive to the delay and frequency offsets. Using two one-dimensional searches in the delay-frequency plane, the algorithm attempts to find the optimum values which maximize the objective function. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the performance of the algorithm and to indicate areas where improvements can be made.

The goal of a blind adaptive equalizer in digital communications is to compensate for the effects of intersymbol interference (ISI) without knowledge of the channel or the intended signal. Instead, only the statistics of the signal constellation are used. The constant modulus algorithm (CMA) is the most popular blind adaptive equalization algorithm used today because of its relative simplicity and effectiveness in equalizing constant-modulus signals. Although CMA does offer some equalization of non-constant modulus signals, such as quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), it can suffer from slower convergence and higher residual ISI when considering such two-dimensional signal constellations. In this dissertation, the well-known constant-modulus algorithm (CMA) and its shortcomings when applied to QAM signals are discussed and illustrated. Then some algorithms designed to improve the performance of CMA are discussed, specifically the alphabet-matched algorithm (AMA) and the multimodulus algorithm (MMA). The use of algorithms such as AMA and MMA is intended to make a CMA-based blind adaptive equalization algorithm better suited for the equalization of QAM signals, as they, unlike CMA, consider both the amplitude and the phase of the equalizer output. Using AMA, a combined CMA+AMA cost function technique and a block decision feedback equalization (DFE) scheme are proposed, which allow for compensation of a number of the shortcomings of CMA only equalization and improve equalizer performance while adding only minimal complexity. The improvements in equalizer performance are shown through performance evaluation via simulation. It will be shown that the proposed algorithms provide faster, and sometimes more accurate, convergence, reduces residual ISI and/or increases final accuracy. -- Abstract.
