maxstep

Maximum step size for LMS equalizer convergence

Syntax

mumax = maxstep(eq,x)

Description

mumax = maxstep(eq,x) predicts a bound on the step size to provide convergence of the mean values of the coefficients of the equalizer defined by the eq System object™. The set input signal sequences in x are assumed to have zero mean or nearly so.

Examples

Decision Feedback Equalize BPSK-Modulated Signal

Create a BPSK modulator and an equalizer System object™, specifying a decision feedback LMS equalizer having eight forward taps, five feedback taps, and a step size of 0.03.

bpsk = comm.BPSKModulator;
eqdfe_lms = comm.DecisionFeedbackEqualizer('Algorithm','LMS', ...
    'NumForwardTaps',8,'NumFeedbackTaps',5,'StepSize',0.03);

Change the reference tap index of the equalizer.

eqdfe_lms.ReferenceTap = 4;

Build a set of test data. Receive the data by convolving the signal.

x = bpsk(randi([0 1],1000,1));
rxsig = conv(x,[1 0.8 0.3]);

Use maxstep to find the maximum permitted step size.

mxStep = maxstep(eqdfe_lms,rxsig)

mxStep = 0.1028

Equalize the received signal. Use the first 200 symbols as the training sequence.

y = eqdfe_lms(rxsig,x(1:200));
