Abstract
Modern digital transmission systems commonly use an adaptive equalizer as a key part of the receiver. The design of this equalizer is important since it determines the maximum quality attainable from the system, and represents a high fraction of the computation used to implement the demodulator. Analytical results offer a new way of looking at fractionally spaced equalizers and have some surprising practical implications. This article describes the data communications problem, the rationale for introducing fractionally spaced equalizers, new results, and their implications. We then apply those results to actual transmission channels.

Filterbanks for blind channel identification and equalization

TL;DR: Multirate precoding using filterbanks induces cyclo-stationarity at the transmitter and guarantees blind identifiability of frequency selective communication channels with minimal decrease of information rate and without restrictions on zero locations.

Subspace methods for the blind identification of multichannel FIR filters

TL;DR: This paper addresses a problem arising in a context of digital communications by exploiting an orthogonality property between "signal" and "noise" subspaces to build some quadratic form whose minimization yields the desired estimates up to a scale factor.

Stationary and nonstationary learning characteristics of the LMS adaptive filter

TL;DR: It is shown that for stationary inputs the LMS adaptive algorithm, based on the method of steepest descent, approaches the theoretical limit of efficiency in terms of misadjustment and speed of adaptation when the eigenvalues of the input correlation matrix are equal or close in value.

A new approach to multipath correction of constant modulus signals

TL;DR: In this article, an adaptive digital filtering algorithm that can compensate for both frequency-selective multipath and interference on constant envelope modulated signals is presented, which exploits the fact that multipath reception and various interference sources generate incidental amplitude modulation on the received signal.
