Abstract

In this paper, a blind adaptive equalization algorithm based on PDF-distance minimization and a set of Delta functions is introduced and its superior robustness against impulsive noise and multipath characteristics of underwater communication channels is proved. The conventional CMA based on MSE has shown to be incapable of coping with impulsive noise, and correntropy blind algorithm has also revealed to yield not satisfying performance for the mission. On the other hand, the blind adaptive equalization algorithm based on PDF-distance minimization and a set of Delta functions has been proved to solve effectively the problem of impulsive noise and multipath characteristics of underwater communication channels through theoretical and simulation analysis.

다음은 이 논문에서는 임펄스 잡음과 함께 다중경로 특성을 가진 수중 통신 채널에 대해, 확률거리 최소화와 델타함수열을 이용한 블라인드 적응등화 알고리듬을 소개하고 임펄스 잡음에 대한 강인성을 입증하였다. 기존의 자승평균오차 기반의 CMA는 임펄스 잡음 환경에서 다중경로 채널을 보상하지 못하는 현상을 보였고 엔트로피에 기반을 둔 코렌트로피 등화알고리듬도 일반적 변조방식에서 성능이 만족스럽지 못한 것으로 나타났으나, 델타함수열을 이용한 확률분포 거리최소화 방법은 이러한 임펄스 잡음 문제와 다중경로 채널 블라인드 등화문제를 동시에 해결함을 보였고, 임펄스 잡음에 대해 탁월한 강인성을 가짐을 이론적 분석과 함께 시뮬레이션 실험을 통해 입증하였다.
