Abstract
The present invention is directed to a MIMO equalization system and method, optimized for baud rate clock recovery in coherent symbol-spaced DP-QPSK Metro systems. According to this method, the Mueller & Muller timing function is extended to cope with controlled ISI induced signals, while decoupling between MIMO equalization and clock recovery loops, using a midpoint output of the equalizer for timing estimation, instead of its final output. At least a portion of controlled Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) is kept intact and the controlled ISI is compensated by an MLSE, right after carrier timing synchronization.
