Abstract :
The problem of blind equalization in a digital communication system is considered. Unfortunately, the circuit might suffer from abrupt changes. Thus, it is critical not to ignore this phenomenon when the problem of blind equalization is analyzed. The proposed method, which is based on an Ito stochastic differential calculus approach, describes the dynamics of the output signal with an infinite impulse response (IIR) model where the involved taps are modeled as time-varying cadlag (contimi à droite limites à gauche) processes. Therefore, nonlinear and time-variant changes in the channel characteristics are included.
