Abstract

The presence of nonlinear devices in several communication channels, such as satellite channels, causes distortions of the transmitted signal. These distortions are more severe for non-constant envelope modulations such as 16-QAM. Over the last years neural networks (NN) have emerged as competitive tools for linear and nonlinear channel equalization. However, their main drawback is often slow convergence speed which results in poor tracking capabilities. The present paper combines simple NN structures with conventional equalizers. The NN techniques are shown to efficiently approximate the optimal decision boundaries which results in good symbol error rate (SER) performance. The paper gives simulation examples (in the context of satellite mobile channels) and compares neural network approaches to classical equalization techniques.
