ABSTRACT:
A TDMA RF received signal is demodulated by first being filtered with a fixed transversal filter having a characteristic selected for matching a fixed square root raised cosine pulse characteristic of the received signal. The filtered signal is then adaptively filtered for compensating for a time varying impulse response of the channel. The adaptive filtering is performed initially during a synchronizing portion (preamble) of the filtered signal in accordance with a fast recursive least squares algorithm. Subsequent filter adaptation to a data portion of the filtered signal is accomplished in accordance with a computationally less expensive normalized least mean square procedure. The adaptive filter repetitively applies a modified Viterbi algorithm to blocks of 2D symbols, such that D symbols are released for adapting the adaptive filter means during the data portion of the filtered signal and the signal. The released symbols are also employed for adapting elements required in computing a metric for the modified Viterbi algorithm and the reconstructed signal used to form an error signal that drives the adaptation algorithms.
