High-performance VLSI architecture of adaptive decision feedback equalizer based on predictive parallel branch slicer (PPBS) scheme.

High-performance VLSI architecture of adaptive decision feedback equalizer based on predictive parallel branch slicer (PPBS) scheme.

Among existing works of high-speed pipelined adaptive decision feedback equalizer (ADFE), the pipelined ADFE using relaxed look-ahead technique results in a substantial hardware saving than the parallel processing or Look-ahead approaches. However, it suffers from both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR...
