Comparison performance of efficient adaptive temporal filters and spatial arrays antennas based on fractional lower-order statistics in non-Gaussian environment

Adaptive channel equalization is an effective tool for the antenna receiver for estimating the information sequence in severe interference backgrounds. As a result, the problem of linear channel distortion or multipath suppression has been the focus of considerable research in the signal processing and communications communities. The choice of the antenna receiver structure is a challenge for the next radio communication systems, because from this aspect will depend a great part of the improvement that it is possible to obtain with efficient DSP devices. The two possible paths are the use of omnidirectional antennas or the introduction of antenna arrays. In our paper we evaluate a comparison between these two different choices considering an adaptive equalizer in different environmental conditions. Basically, we studied and proposed new solutions for dealing with good Gaussian and bad non-Gaussian background noise.
