We propose a modification to the Constant Modulus Criterion for real valued sources processed with a complex valued receiver. Our modification is called Single-Axis Constant Modulus Criterion (SA-CM) because it operates solely on the real component of the complex equalizer output. We show that under idealized conditions, a finite length, baudspaced, complex valued equalizer minimizing the SA-CM criterion admits only desirable global minima settings that are ISI-free. A single-axis receiver architecture is compared to other receiver architectures for real valued sources and staggered modulation schemes. Simulation examples using vestigal sideband (VSB) signaling verify our methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
