Abstract

The nonlinear decision feedback equalizer (DFE) provides significantly lower symbol error rates than a linear equalizer, but for the high speed digital transmission systems which shows more serious inter-symbol interference (ISI) the DFE suffers large steady-state mean square error (MSE) and slow convergence rate. So a new DFE is proposed, which consists of a feedforward filter based on T/2 fractionally-spaced structure and a feedback filter based on baud-spaced structure and uses a dual-mode algorithm. The efficiency of the method is proved by computer simulation.
