Code division multiple access (CDMA) has emerged as a popular format for wireless communication systems. As a result of intersymbol interference (ISI) and nonlinearities, the performance of CDMA systems can suffer. In this paper, we propose a blind equalizer for CDMA systems with Volterra (nonlinear) channels. The equalizer requires multiple observations at the receiver, which are obtained through oversampling or an antenna array, and a knowledge of the code of the desired user. Zero forcing equalization is possible in the noise-free case. Simulations demonstrate the performance of the equalizer under a variety of operating conditions.
