Abstract :
The paper addresses the problem of blind equalization of constant modulus signals which are degraded by frequency selective multipath propagation and additive white noise. An adaptive observer is used to update the weights of an FIR equalizer in order to restore the signal´s constant modulus property. The observer gain is selected using fake algebraic Riccati methods in order to guarantee local stability. The performance of this method is compared to the constant modulus algorithm for simulated FM-FDM signals and exhibits significantly better convergence properties, particularly for heavy-tailed noise
