In this work, we study the criteria used to solve the blind equalization problem. Two approaches are considered in detail: the constant modulus and the Shalvi-Weinstein criteria. In the course of our exposition, a more recent and less studied technique, the generalized constant modulus criterion, is also discussed. Some of the most important results found in the literature are presented together with some recent contributions related to the comparison between blind criteria and between unsupervised techniques and the Wiener criterion.
