Analysis and Design of Decision Feedback Equalizers for Bitrates of 10 Gbps and Beyond in Submicron CMOS

A guideline on how to design and specify a Decision Feedback Equalizer (DFE) for bitrates of 10 Gbps and Beyond. First, this work provides a classification of the state of the art for Decision Feedback Equalizers. Second, this work provides insight about the behaviour of a DFE with increasing number of taps and channel length with measurements...
