channels. The approach is applied to a satellite UMTS channel composed of time invariant
linear filters, a non-linear memoryless amplifier and a time varying multipath propagation
channel. The neural network equalizer has a radial basis function structure. The usual k-
mean clustering algorithm is replaced by a Kohonen (1995) learning rule. This results in an
RBF-SOM equalizer which outperforms the LMS equalizer, and which has better recovering …
