Abstract

A receiver, comprising an adaptive filter, performs blind equalization using a modified form of the constant modulus algorithm (CMA). This modified form of CMA is referred to as phase compensating CMA (PC-CMA). PC-CMA includes a phase-compensating term in the tap updating algorithm of the equalizer such that convergence to a straight constellation is achieved without the need of a rotator.
