ABSTRACT:
Digital data is transmitted over partial-response channels using a precoding technique which allows for the use of a wide variety of transmit constellations. A sequence of signal points is selected from a predetermined base constellation meeting particular criteria. A so-called combined signal point is developed for a present symbol interval by a) selecting a signal point from the base constellation as a function of input bits associated with the present symbol interval and b) combining the signal point thus selected with a feedback signal which is a function of one or more combined signal points that were developed for previous symbol intervals, that function being determined by the characteristic of the partial-response channel. A transmit signal which represents the combined signal points is then provided. In one implementation, the processing steps are performed explicitly using an integrated precoder/constellation mapper. In another implementation those steps are performed implicitly using table look-up.
