To reduce the number of nonzero taps for the FIR DFE while ensuring its design accuracy, the problem of designing a sparse FIR DFE is transformed into an l0 norm minimization problem, and then the proposed scheme is used to obtain the sparse solution. In the proposed scheme, a sequence of minimum weighted l2 norm problems is solved using the OMP algorithm. The nonzero taps positions can be corrected with the different weights in the diagonal weighting matrix which is computed through the hybrid l1\/l2 norm minimization. The simulation results verify that the sparse FIR MIMO DFEs designed by the proposed scheme get a significant reduction in the number of nonzero taps with a small performance loss compared to the non-sparse optimum DFE under the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion. In addition, the proposed scheme provides better design accuracy than the OMP algorithm with the same sparsity level.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18061860","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,6]],"date-time":"2018-06-06T10:53:28Z","timestamp":1528282408000},"page":"1860","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Design of Sparse FIR Decision Feedback Equalizers in MIMO Systems Using Hybrid l1\/l2 Norm Minimization and the OMP Algorithm"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Lihong","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer and Control Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin 300350, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiaxiang","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tianjin Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Sensor and Sensing Network Technology, College of Electronic Information and Optical Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin 300350, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Information Engineering, Tianjin Polytechnic University, Tianjin 300387, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haiyuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tianjin Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Sensor and Sensing Network Technology, College of Electronic Information and Optical Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin 300350, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1914","article-title":"Robust Decision Feedback Equalizer for OFDM System under Severe ISI Channel","volume":"8","author":"Su","year":"2014","journal-title":"KSII Trans.
