Equalization
To compensate for channel induced ISI we use a process known as
Equalization: a technique of correcting the frequency response of
the channel
The filter used to perform such a process is called an equalizer
=> Objective:
Find the Inverse of the Channel Response to
reflect a ‘delta channel to the Rx
Equalization Techniques

Equalization Techniques
Two general categories - linear and nonlinear
equalization (see Fig. 3)
In Fig. 1, if d(t) is not the feedback path to adapt the
equalizer, the equalization is linear
In Fig. 1, if d(t) is fed back to change the subsequent
outputs of the equalizer, the equalization is nonlinear
Equalization Techniques
The output yk of the Tap Delay Line equalizer in response to the input
sequence {xk} (which is the output of the matched filter) is

This shows that at the output of the ZFE the noise will be
enhanced if the channel frequency response has spectral nulls
Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE)
The filter taps are adjusted such that the MSE of ISI and n
oise power at the equalizer output is minimized
Minimum MSE Solution
A more robust equalizer can be obtained if {cn} tap weights are chosen
to minimize the mean square error (MSE) of all ISI terms plus noise
power at the output of equalizer
MSE is defined as:
the expected value of the squared difference between
the desired data symbol and estimated data symbol

Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE)
The filters are usually fractionally spaced FIR with adjustable tap
coefficients
The detector is a symbol-by-symbol detector
DFE is based on the principle that once you have determined the
value of the current transmitted symbol, you can exactly remove the
ISI contribution of that symbol to future received symbols
The nonlinear feature is due to the decision device, which attempts to
determine which symbol of a set of discrete levels was actually
transmitted.
Once the current symbol has been decided, the filter structure can
calculate the ISI effect it would tend to have on subsequent received
symbols and compensate the input to the decision device for the next
samples.
This postcursor ISI removal is accomplished by the use of a feedback
filter structure.

Blind Equalization
ZFE and MSE equalizers assume
option of training sequence for
learning the channel.
What happens when there is none?
