Eigenfilter design of MIMO equalizers for channel shortening

The advent of discrete multitone modulation (DMT) systems in recent years has brought to light the importance of channel shortening equalizers. In this paper, we present a method for the design of one such equalizer for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) linear dispersive channels. This method is a generalization of one that was used for shortening of single-input single-output (SISO) channels. Experimental results presented show that our design method performs better than the minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) technique in terms of effective channel energy compaction. 1
