Broadband wireless using single carrier and frequency domain equalization

The application of frequency domain equalization techniques makes single carrier modulation a potentially valuable alternative to OFDM, especially in regard to its robustness to RF implementation impairments. In this overview paper we survey recent results on single carrier systems with frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE), including comparisons and compatibilities with OFDM, and extensions via decision feedback equalization and overlap-save processing.
