A modified CM alorithm for blind equalization of MPSK signals

A new blind equalization algorithm for application to wireless communication employing MPSK signals is proposed in this paper.  Since the new cost function exploits the amplitude and phase information simultaneously, the proposed algorithm can provide a superior performance than the conventional constant modulus algorithm (CMA) which only use the amplitude knowledge in its cost function.  Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations both demonstrate that the steady-state mean square error (MSE) for the proposed algorithm is less than that of the CMA.
