Bounds on Probability of Error in Decision Feedback Equalizers
J. Krishnamurthy, Henry M. Dante · IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems · 1976
Evaluation of the probability of error in decision feedback equalizers is difficult due to the presence of a hard limiter in the feedback path. This paper derives the upper and lower bounds on the probability of a single error and multiple error patterns. The bounds are fairly tight. The bounds can also be used to select proper tap gains of the equalizer.
