Blind acquisition characteristics of PSP-based sequence detectors.

The blind acquisition characteristics of binary sequence detection algorithms based on per-survivor processing (PSP) are demonstrated via computer simulations. These capabilities are impressive as compared to those of traditional blind equalizers. It is demonstrated that the short-term acquisition p...
