Abstract

The Group Research department in Tait Electronics has a reconfigurable platform for MIMO research. In particular, the platform has an adaptive multivariate DFE with the LMS algorithm currently implemented. The LMS algorithm has been simulated and optimised for implementation on the FPGA. The main objective of the research is to investigate an alternative, the RLS algorithm by comparing its performance to the LMS algorithm. The RLS algorithm is known to be more complex than the LMS algorithm but offers the potential for improved performance due to its fast-converging nature. This thesis provides a performance investigation of these adaptive filter algorithms on the MIMO system for the purpose of real-time implementation on the Tait platform. In addition to performance investigation, stability analysis and a feasibility study is shown for the RLS algorithm on the FPGA. The research is industry based and is supported by FRST.
