  • Abstract
    We present a new method for channel equalization using fuzzy logic. The membership functions are derived from the training data set, and a method to estimate the delay of the communication channel is proposed. The performance of the fuzzy equalizer is compared with that of a transversal filter equalizer. It is shown using simulations that the transversal filter requires a much larger training set to achieve the same error rate. It is also shown, using simulations, that the fuzzy equalizer performs better in the presence of channel nonlinearities
