Blind equalization algorithm based on complex support vector regression by Ling YANG, Liang CHEN, Bin ZHAO, Guolong ZHANG, Yuan LI

“…A new blind equalization algorithm for complex valued signals was proposed based on the framework of complex support vector regression(CSVR).In the proposed algorithm,the error function of multi-modulus algorithm (MMA) was substituted into CSVR to construct the cost function,and the regression relationship was established by widely linear estimation,and the equalizer coefficients were determined by the iterative re-weighted least square (IRWLS) method.Different from spliting the complex valued signals into real valued signals used in support vector regression,the Wirtinger’s calculus was used in complex support vector regression to analyze the complex signals directly in the complex regenerative kernel Hilbert space.Simulation experiments show that for QPSK modulated signals,compared with the blind equalization algorithm based on support vector regression,the equalization performance of the proposed algorithm is significantly improved in linear channel and nonlinear channel by choosing appropriate kernel function and iterative optimization method.…”
