Complex-bilinear recurrent neural network for equalization of a digital satellite channel.
Equalization of satellite communication using complex-bilinear recurrent neural network (C-BLRNN) is proposed. Since the BLRNN is based on the bilinear polynomial, it can be used in modeling highly nonlinear systems with time-series characteristics more effectively than multilayer perceptron type neural networks (MLPNN). The BLRNN is first expanded to its complex value version (C-BLRNN) for dealing with the complex input values in the paper. C-BLRNN is then applied to equalization of a digital satellite communication channel for M-PSK and QAM, which has severe nonlinearity with memory due to traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA). The proposed C-BLRNN equalizer for a channel model is compared with the currently used Volterra filter equalizer or decision feedback equalizer (DFE), and conventional complex-MLPNN equalizer. The results show that the proposed C-BLRNN equalizer gives very favorable results in both the MSE and BER criteria over Volterra filter equalizer, DFE, and complex-MLPNN equalizer.
