Abstract

This thesis presents simulation results evaluating the performance of blind equalization techniques in the Digital Cellular environment. A new method of a simple zero memory non-linear detector for complex signals is presented for various forms of Fractionally Spaced Equalizers (FSE). Initial simulations are conducted with Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) to study the characteristics of FSEs. The simulations are then extended to complex case via $\pi/$4-Differential Quaterny Phase Shift Keying ($\pi/$4-DQPSK) modulation. The primary focus in this thesis is the performance of this complex case when operating in Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and Rayleigh Multipath Fading channels.
