A decorrelation constant modulus algorithm for multitarget separation using adaptive arrays

Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive digital filter algorithm is presented to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio of an antenna array with multiuser signal inputs. These synchronous communication signals have constant envelope property and are transmitted through a Multiple-Input/Multiple-Output (MIMO) linear channel. This Multiuser Constant Modulus Algorithm (MU-CMA) using an antenna array can compensate for both Interuser Interference (IUI) and Intersymbol Interference (ISI). The method is derived by minimizing the cost function of the constant modulus signals as well as cross-correlations between them. The simulation result in this paper shows the performance of this algorithm.
