A Rectangular Constellation-Based Blind Equalization Technique

Blind equalization techniques have been developed over the past three decades that estimate and equalize communication channels without requiring training sequences and without channel knowledge. This article presents a new blind equalization algorithm with particular relevance to large-order, square or rectangular constellations. Comparisons with standard blind equalization methods are also presented.
