ABSTRACT
Adaptive equalizers have been in use for about four decades. Since then, the applications and allowable complexity have changed dramatically, but the basic design approaches are largely unchanged. is chapter reviews common methodologies for designing trained and blind adaptive equalizers, including fast algorithms and slower, low-complexity algorithms. Application of these principles to modern wireless communication systems is demonstrated via discussion of popular equalizers for two newly popular modulation formats, multicarrier and ultrawideband communications. e chapter concludes with a discussion of the interaction of the adaptive equalizer with other adaptive blocks, such
