ABSTRACT
In the modern age, wireless communication is very helpful in various mobile antenna communication systems. In mobile communication systems, the transmission of data transfer rates is very high and it plays an important role in several services like video, top-quality audio, and mobile integrated service digital network. During the transmission of data at higher data transmission rates through the mobile radio channels, the channel impulse response can spread over many symbol periods as well as cause inter-symbol interference (ISI). Wireless transmission is suffering from fading and interference effects which may be combated with an equalizer. Due to fading and interference, it creates a problem for signal recovery in wireless communication. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the different types of equalizers such as ZF and MMSE for BPSK modulation. The simulation result has been developed by using MATLAB toolbox version 2015a and a multi-tap ISI channel is considered. By analyzing the simulation result it shows that if the number of tap lengths is increasing, BER will decrease in ZF equalizer. And finally shows BER vs SNR comparison of two different types of an equalizer and is able to find out MMSE performance is better than ZF equalizer.
