Abstract
'Bussgang' deconvolution techniques for blind digital channels equalization rely on a Bayesian estimator of the source sequence defined on the basis o f channel/equalizer cascade model which involves the definition of deconvol ution noise. In this paper we consider four 'Bussgang' blind deconvolution algorithms for uniformly distributed source signals and investigate their n umerical performances as well as some of their analytical features. Particu larly, we show that the algorithm, introduced by the present author, provid ed by a flexible (neuromorphic) estimator is effective as it does not requi re to make any hypothesis about convolutional noise level and exhibits sati sfactory numerical performances.
