Abstract :
This paper addresses the problem of blind equalization based on Higher-Order statistics. In fact, we propose a new method for blind identification which uses only fourth order cumulants. The Channel impulse response coefficients are obtained by using a least squares method. Next, we exploit this method in the context of blind equalization. Numerical examples are also presented in order to illustrate the performances of the proposed method.
