Two online blind equalization algorithms based on Echo State Network (ESN) in this paper are proposed for the nonlinear satellite channel. These two algorithms take advantage of the good nonlinear approximation of ESN to bring the High-Order Statistics (HOS) of the transmitted signal into the ESN, and constructing cost function of blind equalization by combining Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) and Multi-Modulus Algorithm (MMA). Then, the Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm is used to iteratively optimize the network output weights, and the online blind equalization of the constant modulus signals and the multi-modulus signals over the channel of Volterra satellite are realized. Experiments show that the proposed algorithms can effectively reduce the distortion of the transmitted signal by the nonlinear channel. Compared with the traditional Volterra filtering method, they have faster convergence speed and lower mean square error.
