The invention relates to a
blind equalization method for a deep
fading underwater acoustic sparse multipath channel, which belongs to the technical field of channel
equalization, and comprises the following steps: acquiring a sending
signal transmitted from a sending end to a receiving end through an
underwater acoustic channel, acquiring a receiving
signal by the receiving end, and sampling the receiving
signal through a preset fractional interval to obtain an input signal; constructing a preset fractional interval
blind equalizer, and calculating an output signal according to the vector of the input signal and the tap coefficient; the output signal is judged by a decision device to obtain a decision signal, a
constellation point
mean square error is calculated according to the output signal and the decision signal, the working mode of the preset fractional interval
blind equalizer is judged according to the
constellation point
mean square error and a preset
decision threshold, and the tap coefficient is updated according to an
error function. And balancing the output signal according to the updated tap coefficient, thereby realizing adaptive suppression of the
multipath effect of the
underwater acoustic channel, ensuring stable convergence under different channel conditions, and improving the reliability and transmission efficiency of the
underwater acoustic communication system.
