Method and apparatus for equalization and tracking of coded digital communications signals

摘要

A method for symbol detection using a decision feedback equalizer loop is provided comprising the steps of generating a delay-less symbol estimate from data redundancy in a received signal, and employing said delay-less symbol estimate in said decision feedback equalizer (DFE) loop as input to the feedback section of the DFE and/or to update equalizer parameters. A receiver for digital signals is also provided. Other systems, apparatus and methods are also disclosed.
