Adaptive Equalization with Variable Step Size Algorithm Based on Gradient for HF Channel
To further improve the performance of adaptive equalization in HF channel, a new variable step size algorithm is proposed based on the iterative gradient. The step size is set to a vector according to the weights of the equalizer, and it can vary with the iterative gradient during the equalization process. The algorithm overcomes the traditional variable step size with the constant scale for all the weights of the equalizer, thus it can obtain faster convergence rate and lower steady state error in HF channel. In the complex channel condition, the algorithm proposed in this paper can avoid the local minimum point of the objective function to obtain the global convergence performance. Simulation result shows the effectiveness in the Watterson channel model.
