Communication channel equalization using wavelet network

Wavelet network (WN) based on wavelet decomposition principle is applied to channel equalization for both linear and non-linear channels. The WN is trained by extended Kalman filter (EKF) based recursive algorithm and is compared with EKF based multi-layered perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN). Exhaustive simulation study reveals the superiority of the WN based equalizer in terms of bit error rate performance, compared to the above equalizer scheme. (C) 2005 Elsevier Inc.
