Robust Time-Domain Equalizers For Multicarrier Communications

This dissertation is concerned with the design of robust time-domain equalizers (TEQs) for multicarrier communication systems. In multicarrier signals, a cyclic prefix (CP) is inserted between consecutive symbols to avoid intersymbol interference (ISI). In the event that the channel impulse response...
