Abstract
This contribution revisits blind equalisation for high-order quadrature amplitude modulation systems using a low-complexity high-performance concurrent constant modulus algorithm (CMA) and soft decision-directed (SDD) scheme. A fuzzy-logic (FL) tuning unit is designed to adjust the step size of the CMA, and the potential benefits of using this adaptive step size approach are investigated. Simulation results obtained confirm that faster convergence can be achieved with this FL assisted CMA and SDD scheme, compared with the previous constant step-size CMA and SDD scheme. Quantitatively, the former requires several thousands fewer samples to converge to the same steady-state solution achieved by the latter.
