Mitigating error propagation effects in a decision feedback equalizer.

We present an approximate analysis approach to the computation of the probability of error and mean burst error length for a decision feedback equalizer (DFE) that takes into account feedback of decision errors. The method uses a reduced-state Markov model of the feedback process and is applicable t...
