Abstract

Recently, considerable amount of attention is being given to the field of wavelets and wavelet packets. It has found numerous applications in signal representation, image compression and applied mathematics.In this paper, we present a channel equalization method based on wavelet packets. The proposed equalizer structure is based on the fact that for sufficiently narrowband sequences, a non-ideal channel can be modelled as an attenuation and delay. If the data sequence is used to modulate a set of narrowband wavelet packets, then no equalization is required at the receiver end. The equalization problem reduces to that of determining the delay introduced by the channel for each of the wavelet packets. A minimum square variance algorithm for adaptively choosing the delay has been proposed. This algorithm has been shown to perform as desired analytically in a simple delay channel case. Simulations have been used to study its performance in the non-ideal channel’s case and the results corroborate theoretical predictions.
