Abstract
In this paper, we propose an equalizer for indoor infrared wireless systems using on-off keying code-division multiple-access (OOK-CDMA). The proposed equalizer has a decision-feedforward filter to mitigate the effects of inter symbol interference (ISI) at the previous chip position of the sampling instant. We evaluate the performance of indoor infrared wireless systems using OOK-CDMA with three kinds of equalizers: the decision-feedback equalizer (DFE), the feedforward equalizer (FE), and the proposed equalizer. To estimate the impulse response, we use the training sequence that alternates '1' and '0' sequentially. Among three kinds of equalizers, we show that the system with the proposed equalizer can achieve the best bit error rate (BER) performance at high bit rate, while the system with the FE achieves the best BER performance when the bit rate is low.
