Multilayer Perceptron Based Equalizer with an Improved Back Propagation Algorithm for Nonlinear Channels
Neural network based equalizers can easily compensate channel impairments; such additive noise and inter symbol interference (ISI). The authors present a new approach to improve the training efficiency of the multilayer perceptron (MLP) based equalizer. Their improvement consists on modifying the back propagation (BP) algorithm, by adapting the activation function in addition to the other parameters of the MLP structure. The authors report on experiment results evaluating the performance of the proposed approach namely the back propagation with adaptive activation function (BPAAF) next to the BP algorithm. To further prove its effectiveness, the proposed approach is also compared beside a so known nonlinear equalizer explicitly the multilayer perceptron with decision feedback equalizer MLPDFE. The authors consider various performance measures specifically: signal resorted quality, lower steady state MSE reached and minimum bit error rate (BER) achieved, where nonlinear channel equalization problems are employed.
