Abstract
A receiver has a dual mode of operation—a carrierless amplitude modulation/phase modulation (CAP) mode and a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) mode-yet only requires a single equalizer structure for both the CAP mode of operation and the QAM mode of operation during blind start-up. The receiver uses the same blind equalization updating algorithm independent of the type of received signal for converging the equalizer structure. The blind equalization updating algorithm incorporates a constant R, whose value is a function of the type of received signal, e.g., a QAM signal or a CAP signal. The type of received signal is determined as a function of the in-phase component of the mean-squared error, E[e,.
