Abstract
In this paper, I propose for the noiseless, real and two independent quadrature carrier case some approximated conditions on the step-size parameter, on the equalizer's tap length and on the channel power, related to the nature of the chosen equalizer and input signal statistics, for which a blind equalizer will not converge anymore. These conditions are valid for type of blind equalizers where the error that is fed into the adaptive mechanism that updates the equalizer's taps can be expressed as a polynomial function of the equalized output of order three like in Godard's algorithm. Since the channel power is measurable or can be calculated if the channel coefficients are given, there is no need anymore to carry out any simulation with various step-size parameters and equalizer's tap length for a given equalization method and input signal statistics in order to find the maximum step-size parameter for which the equalizer still converges.
