Popis: Advances in blind identification of fractionally-spaced models for digital communication channels and blind fractionally-spaced equalizer adaptation rely on the assumption that the time span chosen for the fractionally-spaced equalizer exceeds that of the channel. This paper considers time-domain design formulas minimizing the mean-squared symbol recovery error achieved by a finite-length FIR fractionally-spaced equalizer with a time span shorter than the channel impulse response time span for white zero-mean QAM sources in the presence of white zero-mean channel noise. For minimum mean-squared error designs the symbol error rates achievable are plotted versus the ratio of the source variance to the channel noise variance (with the channel model power normalized to achieve a received signal of unit variance) for different fractionally-spaced equalizer lengths on 64-QAM for several T/2-spaced channel models derived from experimental data. Our intent is to fuel the ongoing debate about fractionally-spaced equalizer length selection . Upprättat; 1995; Bibliografisk uppgift: Se artikeln för övriga 7 medförfattare; 20070109 (ysko)
