  • AbstractThis paper studies the application of the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) in land mobile low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication systems. Two propagation phenomena prevail in narrow band land mobile LEO satellite channel, namely, adjacent channel interference (ACI) and frequency‐non‐selective fading. The performance of CMA for ACI cancellation and the behaviours of CMA in frequency‐non‐selective fading channels are evaluated using a digital beamforming (DBF) array antenna simulation scheme. All these evaluations are based on a simple but efficient channel model which provides a good and fast simulation method for land mobile LEO satellite channels. The restricted Jakes Doppler power spectral density (psd) function is incorporated into the model to ensure that it will be appropriate for the evaluation of a DBF antenna. Our results reveal that CMA can reject ACI and work well in frequency‐non‐selective fading channels. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
