Abstract

"A new blind equalization algorithm for digital communication systems is presented. This algorithm is based on the adjusting of a linear equalizer in such a way that the probability density function (PDF) of its output matches a parametric target function. A link between the proposed cost function and that used by the Constant Modulus Algorithm is also pointed out. Some simulation results are presented and compared to that provided by the Godard's equalizer."
