Li and L. Milstein 1983 . An adaptive implementation of the filter was shown to converge relatively quickly for mild interference. It is shown here however that in the case of severe narrowband interference the LMS decision-feedback equalizer DFE requires a very large number of training symbols for convergence making it unsuitable for some types of communication systems. This paper investigates the introduction of an LMS prediction-error filter PEF as a prefilter to the equalizer and demonstrates that it reduces the convergence time of the two-stage system by as much as two orders of magnitude. It is also shown that the steady-state bit-error rate BER performance of the proposed system is still approximately equal to that attained in steady-state by the LMS DFE-only. Finally it is shown that the two-stage system can be implemented without the use of training symbols. This two-stage structure lowers the complexity of the overall system by reducing the number of filter taps that need to be adapted while incurring a slight loss in the .
