Analysis of a nonlinear equalizer based on high-order statistics

In this paper, we analyse the equalizer structure when the transmitted signal is iid. Conditions for recovering an iid signal are established, which points out limitations of the classical linear equalizer and suggests the application of nonlinear structures. A simple nonlinear equalizer, previously proposed in [1], is then compared to the classical CMA equalizer.
