Orthogonal Wavelet Transform Blind Equalization Algorithm Based on the Optimization of Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithm

Abstract

According to disadvantages of big steady-state error, low convergence rate, and local convergence of traditional Constant Modulus blind equalization Algorithm (CMA), an orthogonal Wavelet Transform blind equalization Algorithm based on the optimization of Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithm(AFSA-WT-CMA) is proposed. In this proposed algorithm, the weight vector of the blind equalizer is regarded as artificial fish, the equalizer weight vector can be optimized via making full use of global search and information sharing mechanism of artificial fish school algorithm, the de-correlation ability of normalizing orthogonal wavelet transform. The computer simulations in underwater acoustic channels indicate that the proposed algorithm outperforms CMA and WT-CMA in convergence rate and mean square error.
