Due to high rate of data transmission associated with current mobile communication systems, it has become necessary to perform high-speed equalization of received signal. This is essentially due to inter-symbol interference (ISI), which is likely to occur at such high rates of data transmission, when the signal experiences multi-path transmission. However, in conventional equalizers which in most cases utilize finite impulse response (FIR) filter, throughput decreases as complexity of adaptive algorithm increases. In order to avoid this, several pipelined architectures have been proposed. Whereas this has been the case, pipelined architecture for blind adaptive algorithms has lot been investigated. In this paper, we propose a pipelined architecture for Multi-level Modified Constant Modulus Algorithm (MMCMA), Which is one of the blind adaptive algorithms. We also implement a Register Transfer Level (RTL) model of the proposed architecture and verify the improvement in performance.
