dfe(x, dx, param)

Decision feedback adaptive equalizer (DFE) for SISO receivers.

Parameters:

• x (np.array) – Input signal to be equalized.

• dx (np.array) – Desired (reference) signal.

• param (optic.utils.parameters object) –

  DFE parameters:

  • param.nTapsFF : number of feedforward taps [default: 5]

  • param.nTapsFB : number of feedback taps [default: 5]

  • param.SpS : samples per symbol [default: 1]

  • param.mu : step size [default: 0.0001]

  • param.nTrain : number of training symbols [default: 1000]

  • param.prec : precision [default: np.float32]

  • param.M : modulation order [default: 4]

  • param.constType : constellation type (‘pam’, ‘qam’, etc.) [default: ‘pam’]

  • param.f : initial feedforward coeffs [default: None]

  • param.b : initial feedback coeffs [default: None]

  • param.trainingMode : operation mode (‘data-aided’, ‘fulltime’) [default: ‘data-aided’]

  • param.preconvIters : number of pre-convergence iterations [default: 1]

Returns:

• yEq (np.array) – Equalized output signal.

• f (np.array) – Final feedforward filter coefficients.

• b (np.array) – Final feedback filter coefficients.

Notes

• Training mode ‘data-aided’ uses the known training symbols for adaptation, while ‘fulltime’ continues to adapt using decision-directed mode even after the training phase.

• Pre-convergence iterations can help the algorithm to converge better by restarting the adaptation process after the initial training phase.
