Abstract

In this paper, we investigate adaptive blind source separation and equalization for multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We first analyze the convergence of the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) used in MIMO systems (MIMO-CMA). Our analysis reveals that the MIMO-CMA equalizer is able to recover one of the input signals, remove the intersymbol interference (ISI), and suppress the other input signals. Furthermore, for the MIMO finite impulse response (FIR) systems satisfying certain conditions, the MIMO-CMA FIR equalizers are able to perfectly recover one of the system inputs regardless of the initial settings. We then propose a novel algorithm for blind source separation and equalization for MIMO systems. Our theoretical analysis proves that the new blind algorithm is able to recover all system inputs simultaneously regardless of the initial settings. Finally, computer simulation examples are presented to confirm our analysis and illustrate the effectiveness of blind source separation and equalization for MIMO systems
