An analog adaptive decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) is described. The DFE cancels intersymbol interference using four feedback taps and a fifth tap cancels DC offset. The coefficient for each tap is adapted using a small mixed-signal integrator. The DFE dissipates 220 mW at a data rate of 150 Mb/s. The active area is 1.8 mm2 in a 1mm CMOS process.

We develop an automated algorithm for determining the number and sparsely supported locations of coefficients in a multi-element array decision-feedback equalizer based on an estimated channel response. We aim for robustness to a wide variety of possible channel conditions, especially through taking advantage of the interplay between the MMSE-optimal feedforward and feedback filters.

A new type of blind decision feedback equalizer (DFE) incorporating fixed lag smoothing is developed in this paper. The structure is motivated by the fact that if we make full use of the dependence of the observed data on a given transmitted symbol, delayed decisions may produce better estimates of that symbol. To this end, we use a hidden Markov model (HMM) suboptimal formulation that offers a...

In this paper we investigate the impact of different equalization techniques for digital communication systems that employ MPSK and MQAM modulation technique to transmit information such as color image over Rayleigh fading AWGN channel. Performance is analyzed in terms of bit error rate by MATLAB simulation. For the simulation of Rayleigh fading channel the different property values such as pat...

In this paper a new Soft Input Soft Output (SISO) equalizer of linear complexity is developed. The algorithm can be used in the so-called Turbo Equalization scheme as a low cost solution in place of the Maximum A-Posteriori (MAP) equalization algorithm which has a prohibitive complexity for most real world applications. The proposed equalizer consists of two parts, namely, a Soft Interference C...

In this paper, a repeater system is studied which is basically used for the relay in the cellular communication. The LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) code is introduced into DFE (decision feedback equalizer) in the receiver for the BER (bit error rate) performance. For the better quality of service (QoS) and the higher convenience, the wireless repeater was considered for the relay system. In th...
