Abstract
Where multiple-input receivers are concerned diversity combining is one of the most efficient techniques against fading effects. In this paper we propose a multipleinput adaptive combiner-equalizer. The novelty of the solution lies in the unified combining-equalization approach - the two classical operations being performed simultaneously and not sequentially. Our simulations show significant performance in terms of outage probability for both indoor and outdoor conditions, while complexity is lower than for a classical MRC implementation. The concept of unifying certain operations along the transmission chain is feasible today more than ever as it can be easily implemented on SDR (Software Defined Radio) platforms.
