Instead of symbol-spaced updating of the equalizer filter, a mechanism has been devised to update the filter at a higher rate. This ensures convergence of the equalizer filter at a higher rate and therefore less time-consuming. The proposed technique has been simulated and tested for two-ray modeled channels with various delay spreads. These channels include minimum-phase and nonminimum- phase channels. Simulation results suggest that that proposed technique outperforms the conventional technique of symbol-spaced updating of equalizer filter.}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {7}, year = {2010}, pages = {1096 - 1099}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/7564}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/43}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 43, 2010}, }
