A blind spatio temporal equalization operating on a polarization sensitive array

This paper presents an application of a blind spatio temporal equalization based on the Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA). The context is the development of an operational system of transmission through the ionospheric channel for transhorizon radio links and the technical challenge is to increase significantly the data transfer rate of standard modems (typically 4.8 kbits/s in a 3 kHz bandwidth).
