Blind Equalization and System Identification

Doctor Chong-Yung Chi is a Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. From July 1983 to September 1988, he was with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, where he worked on the design of various spaceborne radar remote sensing systems including radar scatterometers, SAR's, altimeters, and rain mapping radars. From October 1988 to July 1989, he was a visiting specialist at the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, RoC. Since August 1989, Professor Chi has been a Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering and since August 2002, the Chairman of Institute of Communications Engineering at the National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan. He was a visiting researcher, at the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International, Kyoto, Japan, in May and June 2001. He has published more than 110 technical papers in radar remote sensing, system identification and estimation theory, deconvolution and channel equalization, digital filter design, spectral estimation, and higher-order statistics-based signal processing. His research interests include signal processing for wireless communications, statistical signal processing and digital signal processing and their applications. Dr. Chi is a member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, the European Association for Signal Processing, and an active member of the Chinese Institute of Electrical Engineering. He has served on numerous symposium and conference boards and is currently an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and an Editorial Board Member EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing. Doctors Chih-Chun Feng and Ching-Yung Chen are engineers with the Transmission Technology Department, Digital Vedio and Optical Communiations Technologies Division, Computer and Communications Research Laboratories, Industrial Technology Research Institute, Taiwan. They are engaged in developing digital communication systems and algorithms which focus on baseband signal processing design. Doctor Chii-Horng Chen is an engineer with ADMtek Incorpolated, Taiwan. He is engaged in developing signal processing algorithms for IEEE 802.11b/a/g/h WLAN baseband systems.
