5 Compensatory Neuro-Fuzzy Filter (CNFF)

 

In this chapter, we analyze the functioning of the channel equalizer based on the Compensatory Neuro-Fuzzy Filter (CNFF). It was stated in Chapter 4 that channel equalization is a nonlinear problem, so that a nonlinear solution is more appropriate. Moreover, for the mobile channel, Blind Equalization is the most preferred technique, due to the very special nature of the channel.

The rest of the chapter is organized as follows. In Section 5.1, we introduce the working principle of the CNFF. The channel equalizer based on the CNFF is introduced in Section 5.2. In Section 5.3, we consider the detailed structure of the CNFF (Lin and Ho 2003, 2004) for nonlinear channel equalization. Conclusions are ...
