Abstract :
A new nonlinear adaptive functional-link (FL) channel equaliser is presented. Results are presented for the performance of the FL equaliser compared to a multilayer perceptron (MLP) equaliser and a conventional linear taped-delay line equaliser. The main attractions in using FL networks over MLP networks for equalisation are its speed of convergence and its integral linear combiner structure.
