Optimum delay and mean square error using CMA

The performance of the constant modulus algorithm can suffer because of the existence of local minima with large mean squared error (MSE). This paper presents a new way of obtaining the optimum MSE over all delays using a second equalizer under a mixed constant modulus and cross correlation algorithm (CM-CCA). Proof of convergence is obtained for the noiseless case. Simulations demonstrate the potential of the method.
