Abstract

The inter-symbol interference (ISI) and phase error caused by non-ideal character of channel can result in severe degradation of bit error rate performance in communication system. The existing equalization algorithm can effectively eliminate the ISI of M-ary phase shift keying signals (MPSK), but do not inhibit the phase error. A new equalization algorithm that accomplishes blind equalization and phase information recovery simultaneously is proposed for MPSK signals. In the algorithm, the cost function is weighted sum of two separate well-defined terms: one is identical to the constant modulus algorithm case to enhance the robust of the algorithm, and another is a constellation matched phase error (CMPE) term that is constructed in this paper. The CMPE term is used to cancel the phase error of the equalizer output. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is effective in removing ISI and correcting phase error at the same time.
