Equalization Algorithms in the Frequency Domain for Continuous Phase Modulations.

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]
