Abstract
We present a low power analog adaptive equalization technique suitable for combating inter-symbol-interference at very high data rates. The proposed technique, which we term the lumped parameter equalizer, addresses several of the problems associated with conventional microwave equalizers based on the tapped delay line structure. The theory is given, and simulation results comparing it with the performance of ideal tapped delay line filters are shown. Circuit implementations are discussed, along with the effect of nonidealities on equalizer performance.
