Abstract

We present a fuzzy stochastic gradient (FSG) decision feedback equalizer (DFE) for VSB terrestrial HDTV broadcasting. This equalizer employs a well-designed fuzzy Takagi-Sugeno (1985) model to automatically regulate the step size of the descent gradient vector, combining a fast convergence rate and a low excess mean square error (MSE). The only penalty paid is a slight increase in the computational complexity compared with the LMS algorithm. Simulation results show that this equalizer provides 3.5 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement at a BER of 3.0/spl times/10/sup -6/ with respect to the conventional LMS DFE recommended by the Grand Alliance.
