Design of recursive delay equalizers using constrained optimization

An alternative design approach for the design of recursive delay equalizers based on constrained optimization is proposed. The method by which the optimization is conducted is described, then the problem is developed. Modifications specific to the problem are described, and finally, the algorithm is analyzed and compared with an unconstrained optimization method. The method is found to be more successful in finding solutions to recursive delay equalizer problems, but can be computationally much more expensive
