Block channel equalization in the frequency domain

In this paper, channel equalization algorithms processing two samples of the received signal per channel symbol and operating in the frequency domain are described in a unifying framework. First, minimum mean-square error linear and decision-feedback equalizers are derived, and a synthesis technique based on the well-known Levinson-Durbin algorithm is proposed for the latter. Then, iterative linear and decision-feedback equalization algorithms for turbo processing are devised. Performance results for both uncoded and coded phase-shift keying transmissions show the efficacy of the proposed equalization techniques and their superiority over other existing frequency-domain equalization strategies.
