Construct a linear equalizer object
eqobj = lineareq(nweights,alg)
eqobj = lineareq(nweights,alg,sigconst)
eqobj = lineareq(nweights,alg,sigconst,nsamp)
The lineareq function creates an equalizer object that you can use with the equalize function to equalize a signal. To learn more about the process for equalizing a signal, see Using Adaptive Equalizer Functions and Objects.
eqobj = lineareq(nweights,alg) constructs a symbol-spaced linear equalizer object. The equalizer has nweights complex weights, which are initially all zeros. alg describes the adaptive algorithm that the equalizer uses; you should create alg using any of these functions: lms, signlms, normlms, varlms, rls, or cma. The signal constellation of the desired output is [-1 1], which corresponds to binary phase shift keying (BPSK).
eqobj = lineareq(nweights,alg,sigconst) specifies the signal constellation vector of the desired output.
eqobj = lineareq(nweights,alg,sigconst,nsamp) constructs a fractionally spaced linear equalizer object. The equalizer has nweights complex weights spaced at T/nsamp, where T is the symbol period and nsamp is a positive integer. Note that nsamp = 1 corresponds to a symbol-spaced equalizer.
The table below describes the properties of the linear equalizer object. To learn how to view or change the values of a linear equalizer object, see Accessing Properties of an Equalizer.
Tip To initialize or reset the equalizer object eqobj, enter reset(eqobj). |
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| EqType | Fixed value, 'Linear Equalizer' |
| AlgType | Name of the adaptive algorithm represented by alg |
| nWeights | Number of weights |
| nSampPerSym | Number of input samples per symbol (equivalent to nsamp input argument). This value relates to both the equalizer structure (See the use of K in Fractionally Spaced Equalizers.) and an assumption about the signal to be equalized. |
| RefTap (except for CMA equalizers) | Reference tap index, between 1 and nWeights. Setting this to a value greater than 1 effectively delays the reference signal and the output signal by RefTap-1 with respect to the equalizer's input signal. |
| SigConst | Signal constellation, a vector whose length is typically a power of 2 |
| Weights | Vector of complex coefficients. This is the set of wi values in the schematic in Symbol-Spaced Equalizers. |
| WeightInputs | Vector of tap weight inputs. This is the set of ui values in the schematic in Symbol-Spaced Equalizers. |
| ResetBeforeFiltering | If 1, each call to equalize resets the state of eqobj before equalizing. If 0, the equalization process maintains continuity from one call to the next. |
| NumSamplesProcessed | Number of samples the equalizer processed since the last reset. When you create or reset eqobj, this property value is 0. |
| Properties specific to the adaptive algorithm represented by alg | See reference page for the adaptive algorithm function that created alg: lms, signlms, normlms, varlms, rls, or cma. |
If you change nWeights, then MATLAB maintains consistency in the equalizer object by adjusting the values of the properties listed below.
| Property | Adjusted Value |
|---|---|
| Weights | zeros(1,nWeights) |
| WeightInputs | zeros(1,nWeights) |
| StepSize (Variable-step-size LMS equalizers) | InitStep*ones(1,nWeights) |
| InvCorrMatrix (RLS equalizers) | InvCorrInit*eye(nWeights) |
An example illustrating relationships among properties is in Linked Properties of an Equalizer Object.
