We consider the problem of blind equalization of a finite impulse response and single-input multiple-output system driven by an M-ary phase-shift-keying signal. The existing single-mode algorithms for this problem include the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) and the multimodulus algorithm (MMA). It has been shown that the MMA outperforms the CMA when the input signal has no more than four constellation points, i.e., Mles4. In this brief, we present a new adaptive equalization algorithm that jointly exploits the amplitude and phase information of the input signal. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed algorithm has less mean square error, i.e., better equalization performance, at steady state than the CMA regardless of the value of M. The superior performance of our algorithm to the CMA and the MMA is validated by simulation examples
