Abstract

A computationally efficient method for computing the filter coefficients for a prefilter in a decision feedback equalizer solves linear equations using a fast Toeplitz algorithm. Computations performed to compute the filter coefficients for the right half burst may be used to compute the prefilter for the left hand burst, thereby reducing the number of computations. Also, a square root-free algorithm may be used to solve the system of linear equations, further reducing computational complexity.
