System and Method for Blind Equalization and Carrier Phase Recovery in a Quadrature Amplitude Modulated System

摘要

A system and method for blind equalization of a QAM signal. Equalization is achieved using an algorithm characterized by cost function that is a function the Euclidian distance, e.g. the minimum Euclidian distance, between points of the constellation associated with the QAM signal, i.e. the distance between symbols.
