Abstract

The growth of digital microwave radio has been rapid since the early 1970´s. The authors compare various digital implementations of the baseband symbol-spaced transversal equalizer for combating multipath fading distortion for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) radio systems. Various degradations such as: finite step size, number of quantization levels in the analogue-to-digital converter (ADC), rounding error in arithmetic and the demodulation phase error have been evaluated. Finally, the required number of quantization levels and arithmetic accuracy for practical symbol-spaced equalizer design are proposed for QPSK to 1024QAM radio systems
