Hi All, I am reading an article about GSM MLSE equalizer. The article link is here. http://www.freescale.com/files/dsp/doc/app_note/AN2943.pdf?fpsp=1&WT_TYPE=Application%20Notes&WT_VENDOR=FREESCALE&WT_FILE_FORMAT=pdf&WT_ASSET=Documentation This article is quite brief, and I have two questions here 1) is the Equation 6 in the article correct? 2) How can I get Equation 6 from Equation 5? Can anybody give some idea or good detailed reference? Thank you. Richard

Read section 10.1.2 to 10.1.3, i.e. from page 601 to 607. he has also given one example. chintan

Then, use vector algebra to simplify, some of the terms will get removed because each element of A has magnitude=1 and you should get the form in equation 6. Thanks, Dilip.
