In this letter, we adaptively optimize the equalizer output energy to obtain a joint blind equalization and carrier-phase recovery solution. The resulting (multimodulus) update algorithm possesses a particular zero-memory Bussgang-type nonlinearity. We provide evidence of good performance, in comparison to existing adaptive methods, like RCA, MMA and CMA, through computer simulations for higher-order quadrature amplitude modulation signalling on symbol-and fractionally-spaced channels.Index Terms-Adaptive equalizers, blind equalization.
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.
