ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for a feed forward equalizer for a communication system are described wherein an equalizer may comprise a tapped filter having multiple filter multipliers, a correlator having multiple correlator multipliers, and a set of shared delay elements to connect to the filter multipliers and the correlator multipliers. Each delay element may include multiple delay stages. A first delay stage may receive an input data signal and output a first delay signal to one of the correlator multipliers, and a second delay stage may receive the first delay signal and output a second delay signal to one of the filter multipliers. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
