PERFORMANCE OF A 350-Mb/s ADAPTIVE EQUALIZER

Abstract

This paper applies baseband adaptive equalization techniques to rf multipath and transmitter/receiver distortions. Included are test results comparing 350-Mb/s adaptive equalized and unequalized receivers. These comparisons are made with distortion typically encountered in a high data-rate line-of-sight microwave system such as demodulator quadrature errors, demodulator phase offset errors, and moderate rf multipath distortion. The design and construction techniques are also illustrated.
