cma equalizer and cpbfsk

Hi!

Will a constant modulus algorithm work for a cpbfsk signal even it's not
i.i.d (independent identically distributed) ?

Thanks

I suppose it could be, but since there is no information in the amplitude of
the bfsk signal why bother to equalize it?

The amplitude might be modulated due to fading. CMA designs a FIR
filter that tries to restore the amplitude to a constant. In the
process, it cleans up the fading-induced ISI and thus improves BER.
