Sixty Mb/s transversal equalizer
Vasil Uzunoglu · International Journal of Satellite Communications · 1987
Abstract A model of a linear digital communication system is introduced and adaptive equalization in general is explained. A five‐tap transversal equalizer is designed, breadboarded and tested in a 60 Mb/s burst mode modem in a quasi‐linear and a non‐linear channel under the following configurations: Parabolic, linear and combination of parabolic and linear delay distortions were inserted after the non‐linearity (TWTA). Case 1 was repeated with distortions inserted before the non‐linearity. When parabolic distortion is added before the non‐linearity improvements in the BER are significant.
