Hello all,

Could anyone provide references (websites, books, articles) to Decision
Feedback Equalizers for QAM/QPSK systems? Most of the information
available is on baseband signals. I found several scientific articles
in the WEB on this topics but they are very mathematical and
complicated. I would like to first take a look on some introductory
material...

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Hugo

Hi,

I found Treichler,Fijalkow,&Johnson's article in IEEE Signal Processing 
Magazine May 1996 Issue, titled "Fractionally Spaced Equalizers: How 
long shoud they really be?" a really good starting point, not too 
technical with some practical remarks. It's focus isn't directly on the 
DFE, but gives a overall good review on equalization techniques in general.

Other than that, most digicomm books covers this material. E.g. Proakis.

Treichler should know - he co-invented the "Constant Modulus Algorithm"
(CMA) for blind equalization back in the 80's.
