ISI & Burst Noise Interference Minimization using Wilcoxon Generalized Radial basic Function Equalizer

Abstract

This paper presents a novel technique in channel equalization. Wireless communication system is affected by inter-symbol interference, co-channel interference and Burst noise interference in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise. Different equalization techniques have been used to mitigate these effects using Artificial Neural Networks based Multilayer Perceptron Network, Radial Basis Function, Recurrent Network, Fuzzy and Adaptive Neuro fuzzy System, and also using linear adaptive LMS, RLS system. In this paper we proposed a RBF based equalizer which is trained using wilcoxon learning method. The equalizer presented shows considerable performance gain. Simulation studies have been conducted to demonstrate the performance of wilcoxon training for this class of problem.
