Evolutionary ARMA modelling for aeronautical communications

This contribution deals with modelling and equalization for the aeronautical channel. This channel is subject to multipath and is characterized by a time-variant impulse response. An evolutionary ARMA model is proposed for such a non stationary channel. Evolutionary ARMA models are presented, they are used to derive a parameter estimator which is based upon an eigenformulation for a minimization criteria. A technique is presented for an equalizer design, based on the above model.
