ABSTRACT:
Viterbi detector for a channel having a memory length 1, where no more than two survivors with an associated difference metric are updated. In the prior-art Viterbi detector of this type the new difference metric is from the previous difference metric by use of a saturation function. If the channel parameters differ from the values assumed for the calculation of the difference metric, the performance of the prior-art detector will rapidly degrade. In the detector according to the invention the new difference metric is derived from a combination of the saturation function of the previous difference metric and a correction signal which is a measure for the channel parameter difference.
