Matched pdf-based blind equalization

چکیده
In this paper, a new blind equalization algorithm for multilevel modulations is proposed. It is based on maximizing the correlation between the probability density function (pdf) of the signal at the output of the equalizer and the desired pdf. The algorithm employs the Parzen window method to estimate the pdf of the squared modulus of the equalizer output. A stochastic gradient-based algorithm is used to maximize the correlation between this pdf and the pdf of the corresponding modulation. The proposed algorithm shows an excellent performance when compared with conventional adaptive blind algorithms, such as CMA, in quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) schemes.

A PDF Estimation-Based Blind Criterion for Adaptive Equalization
Abstract — A blind criterion for adaptive equalization based on probability density function (pdf) estimation is proposed. The criterion measures the divergence of the pdf of an ideally equalized signal against the one from a parametric model resulting in a cost function that is a sort of entropy minimization of the equalizer output signal. It is also shown a link between the constant modulus (...

In this report, we address M-QAM blind equalization by fitting the probability density functions (pdf) of the equalizer output with the constellation symbols. We propose two new cost functions, based on kernel pdf approximation, which force the pdf at the equalizer output to match the known constellation pdf. The kernel bandwidth of a Parzen estimator is updated during iterations to improve the...

We consider blind equalization for block transmissions over the frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. In the absence of pilot symbols, the receiver must be able to perform joint equalization and blind channel identification. Relying on a mixed discretecontinuous state-space representation of the communication system, we introduce a blind Bayesian equalization algorithm based on a Gaussia...
