Abstract
A process for calculating on the one hand the coefficients of a spatial filter applied to the signals emanating from the third step and on the other hand the coefficients of a temporal filter applied to the replica signal, made up either of the known symbols for the learning sequences, or from the demodulated symbols for the information sequences, the coefficients of these two filters being calculated so as to minimize, under a specified constraint, a criterion of mean square error between the output signal from the spatial filter and the output signal from the temporal filter, and consisting in filtering the signals emanating from the third step with the aid of the thus calculated coefficients of the spatial filter, thus optimizing the gain of the array of sensors in the direction of the useful signal at the output of the spatial filtering and ensuring rejection of the interference. The signal (y(t)) obtained at the output of the spatial filtering subsequently undergoes one-dimensional equalization at a symbol rate deciding the symbols transmitted, the coefficients of the spatial and equalizing filters being updated according to a specified sequencing.
