An adaptive super-exponential algorithm for multichannel fractionally-spaced blind equalization is proposed. In the noise-free case, oversampling the received signal in space or time leads to a rank-deficient covariance matrix of the corresponding vector process. This seems to be the major obstacle towards a multichannel adaptive super-exponential algorithm. In the absence of additive noise, the optimal multichannel equalizer setting can also be found as the solution of a suitably chosen quadratic cost function. In the presence of a moderate amount of noise, minimization of the same cost function should result in an equalizer setting close to the optimal one. The optimization, however, can now be performed recursively using a stabilized RLS algorithm. Experimental results with underwater acoustic communication data demonstrate the good performance of the suggested method.
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.
