In this paper, novel equalization algorithms for continuous phase modulations (CPMs) are illustrated. Both conventional (linear and decision-feedback) and turbo equalization techniques are derived using the Laurent decomposition of CPM signals. All of them operate in the frequency domain and process two samples of the received signal per channel symbol. Numerical results show that on one hand, conventional equalization strategies offer good performance for binary partial response signaling over severely frequency-selective wireless channels at a moderate complexity. On the other hand, there is evidence that turbo techniques provide a small energy saving at the price of a substantial computational burden. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, channel equalization algorithms processing two samples of the received signal per channel symbol and operating in the frequency domain are described in a unifying framework. First, minimum mean-square error linear and decision-feedback equalizers are derived, and a synthesis technique based on the well-known Levinson-Durbin algorithm is proposed for the latter. Then, iterative linear and decision-feedback equalization algorithms for turbo processing are devised. Performance results for both uncoded and coded phase-shift keying transmissions show the efficacy of the proposed equalization techniques and their superiority over other existing frequency-domain equalization strategies.
