Summary: 
A new receiver structure that combines the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) and the Kalman filter (KF) is investigated to exploit the advantages of both algorithms; simple implementation of blind algorithms, and excellent tracking ability, respectively. The proposed scheme achieves faster convergence and adaptability to the channel variation, which is verified through comparative simulations in doubly-selective (time- and frequency-selective) fading channels.
