BLOCK TIME DOMAIN EQUALIZER FOR TIME REVERSAL-SPACE TIME BLOCK CODE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENCODING AND EQUALIZING RECEIVED SIGNAL IN THE BLOCK TIME DOMAIN EQUALIZER

摘要

Provided is a block Time Domain Equalizer (TDE) for a Time Reversal-Space Time Block Codes (TR-STBC) system. The block TDE comprises a block equalizer which generates an output based on an equalizer tap weight with respect to two consecutively received blocks, an equalizer tap weight updating unit which generates an error vector based on the output and the equalizer tap weight and updates the equalizer tap weight using the error vector, and a signal processing unit which processes the output into a digital signal wherein zero padding is eliminated from the output.
