Discrete-time edge equalizers can enhance symbol-rate equalizers by compensating for inter-symbol interference at data transitions (timing ISI). The reduced timing ISI improves the timing margin and provides the CDR with clean timing information. This paper shows that adapting tap weights with standard blind LMS algorithm results in a reduced eye and may not converge. A modified algorithm is introduced to maximize the data eye.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
