    Performance of Cellular Neural Network Based Channel Equalizers
    (2020) Ozmen, Atilla; Enol, H. S; Tander, B.; Senol, Habib
    Abstract—In this paper, a popular dynamic neural network structure called Cellular Neural Network (CNN) is employed as a channel equalizer in digital communications. It is shown that, this nonlinear system is capable of suppressing the effect of intersymbol interference (ISI) and the noise at the channel. The architecture is a small-scaled, simple neural network containing only 25 neurons (cells) with a neighborhood of r = 2 , thus including only 51 weight coefficients. Furthermore, a special technique called repetitive codes in equalization process is also applied to the mentioned CNN based system to show that the two-dimensional structure of CNN is capable of processing such signals, where performance improvement is observed. Simula-tions are carried out to compare the proposed structures with minimum mean square error (MMSE) and multilayer perceptron (MLP) based equalizers.
