Abstract

In this paper, we consider the application of adaptive linear filters adjusted by stochastic gradient algorithms to the suppression of multiple‐access interference in DS/CDMA communications. It is pointed out that the linearly constrained constant modulus algorithm (LCCMA) cannot converge to the optimum point if the desired user magnitude is less than a critical value. Next, we propose to use the linearly constrained differential constant modulus algorithm (LCDCMA), and show that the LCDCMA always converges to the optimum point regardless of the desired user magnitude. Several simulation results show the following three points. First, the LCDCMA provides better performance than existing algorithms because the variance of the weight vector adjusted by the LCDCMA is less than that by existing algorithms. Second, the LCDCMA is relatively insensitive to the estimation error of the desired signal vector. Third, the LCDCMA combined with a blind channel estimation algorithm is useful. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Electron Comm Jpn Pt 3, 85(1): 1–13, 2002
