Multiple-Input Adaptive Combiner-Equalizer forWireless Communications
Journal Title: Acta Technica Napocensis- Electronica-Telecomunicatii (Electronics and Telecommunications) - Year 2008, Vol 49, Issue 4
Abstract
Receiver diversity is one of the most efficient techniques against fading and interference effects. MRC (Maximum Ratio Combining) was proven to ensure the highest diversity gain, but it is also the most complex compared to other combining techniques. In this paper we propose a multiple-input adaptive combiner-equalizer that provides better performance at lower complexity. The novelty of the solution lies in the unified combining-equalization approach - the two classical operations being performed simultaneously and not sequentially. A first set of simulations has shown that the performance of the proposed combiner-equalizer is superior to that of a classical MRC implementation.
