Abstract

Example systems, read channels, and methods provide states equalization for a digital data signal in preparation for a soft output detector. The states equalizer determines a set of signal values from the digital data signal and filters the set of signal values through a set of finite impulse response filters configured to generate a set of state values for a target signal value, where each filter corresponds to a potential state of the target signal value. Based on the state values, a set of probabilities for possible states is determined and used to populate a decision matrix for a soft output detector.
