A statistical analysis of blind equalisation techniques for digital communications

We have simulated the performance of some important blind equalisation algorithms. Most are based on fractionally spaced sampling, and the channels used are practical models taken from both COST-207 for cellular mobile, and a line of sight microwave digital communications channel. It is clear from the simulations, that a number of popular algorithms are not admissible candidates for blind equalisation in mobile channels, while others exhibit promising behaviour.
