Abstract
An MMSE linear detector is implemented using a variable step-size Griffiths' algorithm. The received signal is sampled and stored. The stored samples are multiplied with components of a spreading sequence to provide products that are summed to provide a first output. The stored samples are also multiplied with components of a weight vector to provide products that are summed to provide a second output. A computing unit uses the Griffiths' algorithm to iteratively compute the weight vector. Another computing unit computes the step-size for each successive iteration of the Griffiths' algorithm based on the first and second outputs.
