ABSTRACT

In Chapter 9, we characterized and constructed PARMC. Although any PARMC is good enough in theory to be used to blindly cancel the ISI without additive noise, different PARMC may have performance differences when there is additive noise in the channel. The question, then, becomes which PARMC performs "better," where "better" means better symbol error rate performance at the receiver after equalization. In this chapter, we propose a criterion for PARMC design by introducing a distance concept for a PARMC and then study the optimal design based on the criterion. The results in this chapter are summarized from [163, 177].
