Adaptive Equalizer (CMA) Algorithm Implementation and Simulation

Below are the MATLAB simulation source code, result graphs, and comprehensive explanation for the Adaptive Equalizer (Constant Modulus Algorithm - CMA).

The Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) is a widely-used signal processing technique designed to mitigate signal distortion in communication systems. It employs an adaptive filtering approach to dynamically adjust receiver parameters, enhancing signal quality and transmission reliability by minimizing intersymbol interference (ISI).

The following MATLAB implementation demonstrates a basic CMA equalizer structure:

Key implementation components include: - Adaptive filter initialization with LMS-based weight updates - Modulus error calculation using the constant modulus criterion - Step-size parameter control for convergence optimization - Iterative coefficient adjustment through stochastic gradient descent
