CHANNEL EQUALIZATION AND

BLIND DECONVOLUTION



Blind deconvolution is the process of unravelling two unknown

signals that have been convolved. An important application of blind

deconvolution is in blind equalization for restoration of a signal

distorted in transmission through a communication channel. Blind

equalization has a wide range of applications, for example in digital

telecommunications for removal of intersymbol interference, in speech

recognition for removal of the effects of microphones and channels, in

deblurring of distorted images, in dereverberation of acoustic recordings, in

seismic data analysis, etc.
