MMSE Equalization of Aeronautical Telemetry Channels

Abstract

This paper presents performance analysis of the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) equalizers applied to aeronautical telemetry channels. The challenge for equalizing received samples of the modulated signal lies in the fact that the underlying continuous-time SOQPSK-TG waveform is not wide-sense stationary. However it is assumed so in order to meet real-time implementation requirements. Two approximations of the autocorrelation function of the SOQPSK-TG waveform are used for designing MMSE equalizers. Their performance are investigated against the zero forcing equalizer for measured aeronautical telemetry channels.
