Description
Summary:博士 === 國立交通大學 === 電子研究所 === 84 === in the following two respects. First, a single-layer non- linear decision feedback equalizer (DFE) equipped with polynomial-perceptron model of nonlinearities is developed. Second, an lp-norm based learning algorithm suitable for the addresseed structure is investigated. The structure exerts the benefit of using a DFE and achieves the required non- linearities in a single-layer net. This is advantageous since it is much easier to train by a stochastic gradient algorithm . It is shown that the algorithm using lp-norm error cir- terion with p<2 is robust to deal with the error for the new equalizer and hence better convergence property is obtained. Detailed performance analysis with a consideration on the possible numerical problem for p<1 is performed. Computer simulations show that the new equalizer is satisfactory in both convergence rate and bit error rate(BER) performance. Also, our scheme is shown capable of achieving the performanc offered by a minimum BER equalizer. In some case, a per- formance quite close to the maximum-likelihood sequence estimation(MLSE)criterion can also be attained.
