Abstract

A digital data receiver includes a front end, coupled to receive an input signal transmitted over a communication channel, the signal representing a stream of transmitted symbols with a given input symbol rate, and to generate, responsive to the input signal, a stream of received samples at a processing rate that is a non-integer rational multiple of the input symbol rate. A feed-forward equalizer receives input samples at the processing rate, responsive to the received samples, and generates forward-equalized samples at the input symbol rate. Decision circuitry processes the forward-equalized samples so as to generate a stream of estimated symbols at the input symbol rate.
