A novel frequency domain equalizer for single carrier modulation is presented. It performs as a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) with the feedforward operating in the frequency domain, and a feedback filtering in time domain. The new scheme makes use of a data block transmission format which can be seen as a generalization of the zero padded transmission. Performance comparisons between FD-DFE...

In this paper, a non-uniform number representation and filter transformation techniques are used to increase the throughput rate of a Decision Feedback Equaliser (DFE). The DFE input data is non-uniformly quantised and represented by a signed power-of-two (SPT) number. Using this number representation, multipliers can be replaced with barrel shifters and adders. The mean quantisation noise powe...

This letter provides a capacity analysis between OFDM and the ideal SC-DFE when no channel knowledge is available at the transmitter. Through some algebraic manipulation of the OFDM and SC-DFE capacities and using the concavity property of the manipulated capacity function and Jensen’s inequality, we are able to prove that the SC-DFE capacity is always superior to that of an OFDM scheme for 4an...

A decision feedback equalizer (DFE) containing a feedback filter with both poles and zeroes i s proposed for high-speed digital communications over the subscriber loop. The feedback filter is composed of two sections: a relatively short finite impulse response (FIR) filter that cancels the initial part of the channel impulse response, which may contain rapid variations due to bridge taps; and a...

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.

Dairy farm effluent (DFE) comprises animal feces, urine, and wash-down water collected at the milking shed. This is collected daily during the milking season and sprayed onto grazed dairy pastures. Urine patches in grazed pastures make a significant contribution to anthropogenic N(2)O emissions. The DFE could potentially mitigate N(2)O emissions by influencing the N(2)O to dinitrogen (N(2)) rat...
