ABSTRACT:
A receiver includes a filter stage that receives, filters, and equalizes a received signal, and a decisional feedback loop coupled to the filter stage that receives and processes a signal output from the filter stage using remodulation. The decisional feedback loop includes a converter that generates a baseband signal, a detector that generates a decision signal, a restorative signal generator that generates a restorative signal using remodulation, and a carrier loop that generates a frequency correction signal and provides a frequency-offset estimate. The restorative signal and the frequency correction signal are provided to the converter to compensate for inter-symbol interference. The presented “remodulation” technique decouples interaction between the carrier loop, the pre-filters, and the equalizer of the restorative signal generator, providing an architecture that is more stable and significantly faster than conventional architectures.
