RESUMO
The objective of this thesis is to study the application of fuzzy to supervised and unsupervised digital channel equalization. Our work is basically divided in two main parts. In the one, we make an extensive review of supervised fuzzy equalization techniques. In the second part, we present original contributions towards the establishment of a solid paradigm for blind nonlinear equalization. In this part, we demonstrate that the Benveniste-Goursat-Ruget theorem is not valid for nonlinear equalizers such as fuzzy liters. As a viable alternative, we propose an approach based on the predictionerror criterion and a fuzzy logic system. The eectiveness of which is cornered by the demonstration of the equivalence between the fuzzy predictor and the minimum eansquare error estimator. Secondly, we propose a training scheme founded on an unsupervised clustering algorithm that combines evolutionary strategies and local search techniques. Lastly, we present results of computational simulations to assess the performance of the equalizers and training techniques introduced in our work
