Abstract

A method and a regenerative filter for equalizing an input digital signal is proposed, wherein the received input signals is processed by means of threshold decision elements, multiplexers, and a delay unit 6, which regenerates a delayed signal for switching the multiplexer, wherein the input signal 1 passes in parallel through at least 4 threshold decision elements 2 and the output signals 3 of the threshold decision elements 2 are connected by at least one multiplexer 4 to the delay unit 6 and the delay unit 6 is comprised of at least two delay stages, whose delayed signals 9, 10 switch the at least one multiplexer 4.
