Résumé : The non linearities in a communication channel can severely affect the communicationquality. These problems are encountered in many communication systems. Because of the highcomplexity of their power amplifiers, which have a severe non-linear behaviour, combined withan important pathloss, which imposes an important output power, the 60 GHz communicationsare strongly affected by these non-linearities. Taking these non-linearities into account in channelequalization can increase the communication performances and enable us to work near the saturationpoint of the amplifier. This paper presents the reservoir computer as a new approach for theequalization of a non-linear communication channels in the case of the 60 GHz communications.We compare the performances and the complexity of the reservoir computer algorithm with aniterative maximum likelihood (ML) equalizer. We find that the reservoir computer is an interestinglow complexity solution for this task.
